Best Outdoor Music Festival
ELKFEST
The location, the music, the season: It's what our readers love about Elkfest, the early June music showcase held in the streets around its namesake, the Elk Public House, in historic Browne's Addition. "It always feels like [Elkfest] kicks off summer in Spokane," says Jennifer Krebs. "It's the perfect way to start the season — a weekend outdoors complete with awesome food, drinks, art and music, and, of course, all of your friends." (CS)
