Springtime in Spokane: The Perfect Season for Outdoor Adventures and Community Fun
Nature Comes Alive: Explore Spokane Outdoors
Spokane’s stunning natural surroundings are at their best during the spring months. The Centennial Trail, a 37-mile paved path stretching from the Idaho border through downtown Spokane, is ideal for walking, biking, or rollerblading. Start your morning in Kendall Yards with a locally roasted coffee and watch the city wake up as you make your way toward Riverfront Park.
One of the season’s true highlights is the Spokane Falls, where spring runoff creates a dramatic and thundering display. You can take in the view from Huntington Park, or hop on the Numerica SkyRide gondola for an unforgettable aerial perspective.
Meanwhile, Riverfront Park is buzzing with activity—its historic Looff Carrousel, Skate Ribbon, and sprawling green lawns make it a perfect spring destination for families, couples, and solo explorers alike.
Markets, Crafts & Local Color
Spring also kicks off Spokane’s seasonal markets and craft fairs. A highlight is the Shadle Park Boosters Spring Craft Show (March 29–30), where artisans and small businesses showcase handmade goods, local treats, and unique gifts in a fun, family-friendly setting.
Farmers markets start reopening across the city as well, offering everything from fresh produce and baked goods to flowers and homemade soap—perfect for bringing a bit of spring indoors.
