As summer slowly fades, our thoughts turn towards fall fun! We're dreaming up plans for football watching, apple picking and getting lost in corn mazes. We're also hatching a plan for drinking beer, exploring local breweries and events like Spokane Oktoberfest. Here's a list to help turn those daydreams into reality:

Oktoberfest!

Local and state breweries will be showing off their latest at Oktoberfest September 21-22 in Riverfront Park! Twenty-four craft breweries will be pouring more than 50 different brews.
