The 5th annual Spokatopia Outdoor Adventure Festival at Spokane’s Camp Sekani Park on the Spokane River is expanding in 2019 into a two-day event, July 13-14. The festival will be adding more live music and entertainment, an additional day of bike and water sports demos and clinics, new kids activities, and limited festival camping Saturday night. Over the past several years, Spokatopia has become one of the biggest bike demo events in the Northwest, with local shops and leading bike brand demo fleets on site for participants to try the latest mountain bikes, e-bikes, and other bikes on Camp Sekani/Beacon Hill single-track and the Centennial Trail. For water sports enthusiasts, Boulder Beach, a short trail walk from the central festival grounds on the Spokane River, will be the site of two days of stand up paddleboard, kayak, canoe, and other water sports demos and clinics. General admission is free, as are many activities, although there is a cost for a demo pass that gets festival goers access to bike and water sports demos and for guided outdoor adventure clinics through Spokane Parks & Recreation.
