About SpokeFest

The Fifth Annual SpokeFest
is On Its Way!

Starting in Spokane's downtown and finishing at SpokeFair on the Post Street Bridge and next to Riverfront Park, SpokeFest riders will travel along some of the region's most memorable roads.

SpokeFest was developed with the non-bicycle enthusiast in mind just as much as experienced cyclists. We welcome anyone interested in riding a bicycle and families going out on a group ride for the first time. The route was carefully chosen to be interesting, beautiful and challenging, but not so challenging that first-timers can't make it. The route is easier with training, but it is not required.

Before and After the Ride...

Experience SpokeFair, our finish line festival with live music, food vendors and a group of cycling and sponsor booths. Have fun riding and have fun celebrating cycling in Spokane!
