Hoopfest Weekend
Hoopfest is more than basketball -- it’s a full weekend of great games, special events and exciting competition. Take a look at all the ways to make the most of your Hoopfest Weekend.
Nike Store
Nike is the official sponsor of Spokane Hoopfest and the event features a very special Nike Store. The Hoopfest Nike Store features exclusive Hoopfest gear you won’t get anywhere else and is used to launch great new products. It’s also the only place you’ll be able to purchase the one of a kind Hoopfest basketball to take home.
Toyota Shoot Off
You don’t have to be a great player to try your hand at the Toyota Shoot Off! The most skilled -- or in most cases -- the luckiest contestant to hit a long range shot in a series of qualifying rounds could win amazing prizes from Toyota! It’s a fun way to participate even if you aren’t an elite player, or a player at all. Contestants must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Just $10 for your chance at three shots. Good luck!
Rodda Paint Youth Free Throw Contest
Are you the best baller on the court? Show your skills with the Youth Free Throw Contest! Open to contestants under 17, the contest lets you show off your perfect show, or your granny shot, whichever helps you hit the net. Just $5 for two shots.
Three-Point Contest
Can you sink those threes better than anyone on the court? Prove it at the Three-Point Contest! Show off your long-range skills and win the title of best three-point shooter at the biggest basketball event on the planet. Just $5 to participate.
Slam Dunk Competition
This one is fun for contestants and a show for fans! Watch as some of Hoopfest’s top athletes fly high to sink those exciting slam dunks at Nike Center Court. If you want to participate, just stop by Nike Center Court before the qualifying round begins on Saturday morning. It’s $10 to participate and free to watch.
Hang Out at Hoopfest
An all day, and in many cases, an all weekend affair, you’ll want to find some great hang out spots in downtown Spokane between games. Cool off with a refreshing beer, fuel up with great food or celebrate your win with a scoop of ice cream!
Borracho Tacos & Tequileria
Tacos are the name of game at Borracho, but even better than the great food is the huge patio at Borracho. Fuel up with lunch or dinner while you check out the Hoopfest action and have a cold one. We recommend their famous margaritas!
O’Doherty’s Irish Grille
Right in the center of the Hoopfest action, O’Doherty’s is a local favorite year round. It’s family friendly, easy to get to during the tournament, and an affordable place to feed the whole crew before or after games.
The Onion
Locally owned and operated, The Onion has a vast menu and is suitable for teams of all ages. With great food and an extensive beer list in their Area 51 taproom, it’s a perfect restaurant for food, fun and camaraderie.
Sweet Peaks & Ben and Jerry’s
Celebrate with your wins, celebrate your loses, celebrate the shot with a scoop or more of ice cream from Sweet Peaks or Ben and Jerry’s! Both shops are sure sweeten the moment, or just help you cool down after all the action on the court.
Volunteer
Every year Hoopfest is successful because of the 3,000+ volunteers who give their time and love of the game to this basketball tournament in Spokane, Washington. A variety of positions must be filled by volunteers. Learn more about volunteer opportunities at Spokane Hoopfest here.
