Spokane Brewers Festival

The Spokane Brewers Festival is moving inside the Spokane Arena this year, but still plans to provide the same great energy and dedication to local breweries as in past years — this time with air conditioning. More than 30 breweries and cideries are pouring at the festival, ranging from local favorites to breweries further afield in the Pacific Northwest. Tickets include a commemorative tasting glass and 13 tokens to redeem for 2-ounce pours, with additional tokens available for $1 each. There will be plenty of food trucks on site, along with live music throughout organized by the Inlander, including Seattle’s Smokey Brights taking the stage at 7 pm after sets by locals Chris Molitor (11:30 am), Blake Braley (1 pm), Misty Mountain Pony Club (2:30 pm), Feral Anthem (4 pm) and the South Hill (5:30 pm). A portion of proceeds from the fest go towards the Wishing Star Foundation, the oldest wish-granting organization in Washington.

Sat, Aug. 4 from 11 am-8 pm • $25/advance, $30/door • 21+ • Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena • 720 W. Mallon Ave. • spokanebrewfest.com
