The Spokane Great Outdoors Expo is an annual late-winter tradition that brings the great outdoors indoors. The event includes over 70 exhibitors representing outdoor experts from around the region, including outdoor clubs, public lands agencies, conservation nonprofits, outdoor adventure retailers, outfitters and guides, RV and overlanding vehicle dealers and travel destinations.
Free entertainment all weekend at the Spokane Convention Center includes live traditional Americana music, extreme skateboarding demos on an indoor halfpipe, live snake and other reptile and wild animal presentations, marshmallow roasting in an indoor “campground,” magic shows, a kid-friendly archery activity, crosscut log sawing, arts and crafts, hourly prize drawings, and a Kids’ Adventure Passport activity, where kids get to complete various challenges for an outdoors expo swag bag. Presentations on a variety of outdoor recreation, conservation, and natural history topics happen throughout the weekend. With a ticket purchase, attendees also get into the Spokane Golf Show, which is connected to the outdoor expo. More info at Spokaneoutdoorexpo.com.
