Attracting more than 250,000 basketball players and fans from around the United States and the globe, flock to Spokane annually for the acclaimed 3-on-3 basketball tournament.

Approximately 6,200 teams play 14,000 games across 42 blocks in downtown Spokane. Anyone, of any skill level, can play. If you want to play basketball, there’s a place for you in this weekend event. Teams are made of four players, with three on the court at a time. Each team is guaranteed two games. It’s known as the greatest weekend of basketball on earth for a reason, so don’t miss your chance to be a part of it!

A Weekend Event

Hoopfest is more than basketball -- it’s a weekend full of great games, special events, and competition. Take a look at all the ways to make the most of Hoopfest Weekend.

Nike Store

Nike is the event's official sponsor and a special pop-up Nike Store is also featured downtown. The Hoopfest Nike Store features exclusive 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.

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 Contest Zone

The Rodda Paint Contest Zone will now be in the Bennett Block. There are three different challenges for hoopers to show off their skills: Free Throw, Three-Point, and a Hot Shot Competition. Contestants will be split up into three different age groups: Adult, High School, and Youth. Take your shot at winning some amazing prizes! 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!
