Spokane Vacations

Ready to venture into one of the American West’s first fur trading outposts? Spokane is a picturesque city in Eastern Washington, cut in two by the Spokane River and draped with tall pine trees. The city has grown from a remote settlement along the river into one of the biggest in the state. Spokane vacation packages are waiting to be booked so you’ll have a proper Washington getaway.

Major Attractions

After you get settled into your hotel, start your Spokane vacation by checking out what the city has to offer. Pay a visit to the Smithsonian-associated Museum of Arts and Culture (MAC). When you’re done with your history lesson, stretch your legs with a peaceful walk through the John A. Finch Arboretum and admire the diverse species of trees that occupy the woods lining the trail. Avian aficionados, rejoice—it’s an excellent location for birdwatching. End with a show at the historic Bing Crosby Theater, named after the late entertainer who grew up in the city.

Festivals and Events

To get a feeling of the Far East without leaving the country, plan your trip around the Chinese Lantern Festival, held from the end of September to the beginning of November in downtown’s Riverfront Park. Its non-stop festivities include Chinese dance performances, acrobatics, and Kung Fu tea pouring. It’s all topped off with traditional food dishes from the Guangdong, Shandong, and Beijing regions. If you’re looking for something with more local flair, rent a car in Spokane and drive the 33 miles east to Coeur d’Alene for the North Idaho Fair & Rodeo, held every August. You’re worried about the world on your shoulders? Just wait until you see the bucking broncos trying to get those pesky cowboys off theirs.
