When summer draws to a close and makes way for brisk air and warm sweaters, you know it is time for fall festivals and events across Eastern Washington. No festival is more important to Spokane Valley than its iconic Valleyfest. For 3 days at the end of September, art, live music and family fun all come together to create this magnificent free fall festival. Valleyfest is one of the top things to do in Spokane Valley during fall, featuring visual and performing arts, education, science, and recreation.

Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival that takes place every year in Germany. As craft beer has risen in popularity across America, more and more cities have started their own Oktoberfests, with Spokane and Coeur d'Alene being no exception. With local breweries and beers being such an instrumental part of Spokane culture, one day is simply not enough to celebrate the beverages of the region. All fall, there are numerous celebrations, events and festivities, like the Coeur d’Alene Oktoberfest celebration in September and the West End Oktoberfest in downtown Spokane.
