The event attracts more than 40,000 people every year.

Spokane has many inviting features. If you're taking the Walking Tour of Downtown, one of the most welcome features of the city is the fact that there are few steep inclines, which will make your walk through Spokane's downtown area all the more enjoyable. See plenty of interesting architecture, historic buildings that include the Met Theater, City Hall and the carousel at Riverfront Park, as well as the scenery of the park itself. Begin your tour by starting at the Visitor Information Center at 201 W Main Street where you can get a self-guided walking tour map. Get some comfortable shoes on and make sure your camera is loaded as you head out on this excellent way to get better acquainted with downtown Spokane.
