❤️ What's happening this weekend in Spokane

Good morning, Spokane!

September showed up, but Spokane has not packed away the camp chairs yet. You can spread a blanket for the Symphony at Pavillion Park, stay for the Indians' last fireworks night, or let 27 country acts handle the soundtrack. Consider this your permission slip to postpone fall mode until Tuesday.

In today's Spokane Pulse:

Let's get to it.

— Laina & Lucas Wyland

🍎 Stuffed on the Bluff fills Beck's Harvest House Saturday-Monday, 10 AM-7 PM, with 14 food trucks each day, local bands, free admission, and free parking.

🤠 Northwest CMA Fest 2026 brings 27 country and Americana acts to The Social in Spokane Valley, noon-10 PM Saturday and noon-9 PM Sunday.

⚾ The Spokane Indians close the regular season against Everett at Avista Stadium with Military and Veteran Fireworks Night Friday at 6:35 PM, Latin Fusion Fireworks Night Saturday at 6:35 PM, and Fan Appreciation Day Sunday at 1:05 PM.

🏐 The Gonzaga Invitational gives the Zags two home matches at the Martin Centre: Oral Roberts Friday at 6 PM and Eastern Washington Saturday at 2 PM.

Shop produce, baked goods, handmade finds, and dinner options while neighborhood musicians bring an easygoing soundtrack to Emerson Park.

Avenue West Gallery pairs Debbie Hughbanks' pastel and acrylic PNW paintings with Jim Bauer's resin works and metal sculptures.

The Estonian comedian brings bold observational humor and an international perspective to downtown Spokane for two Friday-night sets.

Start the morning with local produce, prepared foods, and artisan goods at this community market beside Town Square Park.

EWU's first Roos Field game of the season brings Northern Iowa to Cheney for a nonconference afternoon kickoff.

The Chiefs bring hockey back to downtown Spokane with an afternoon preseason matchup against U.S. Division rival Seattle.

The Spokane Symphony performs a free outdoor concert honoring Liberty Lake's first mayor, with Pavillion Park ready for blankets and picnics.

Britney, Eminem, pop-punk, and Y2K fashion take over the Knitting Factory for an 18-and-up dance night built around the decade's biggest hits.

I quit my afternoon coffee. Not because I wanted to — because I found something better.

You know that wall you hit every day around 2–3 PM? I used to just accept it as the cost of doing anything. Another coffee, a quick spike, then the crash — and somehow I'd still feel dehydrated by dinner.

Then I tried X·E Fountain, Pique's brand-new electrolyte energy drink, and I genuinely wasn't ready for how good "no crash" could feel.

No caffeine jitters. No 4 PM slump. Just clean, steady energy that actually hydrates me instead of draining me. It's built with a premium Vitamin B Complex for natural cellular energy, Magnesium Malate + Taurate for real focus, and a full electrolyte blend that makes it feel like a treat, not a chore.

The cucumber-celery-lime flavor is so crisp and refreshing — it's basically stolen my afternoon coffee slot completely.
