Basketball lovers in Spokane (and from around the world) hoop it up every last weekend in June for Hoopfest. This fun and highly anticipated festival was established in 1989 and is the largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world. Participants can range from everyone from kids to NBA players. The event attracts more than 40,000 people every year.

Fasteddies All Purpose Pub is aptly named. This is the perfect nightlife stop when you and your friends are either heading out for a fun evening or wanting a few drinks and some munchies after the game before you call it a night. The fact that Fasteddies is located across from the Spokane Convention Center virtually guarantees that the crowd from whatever big event is happening will drop in to this low key but charming little bar. And aside from featuring an impressive selection at the bar, their menu offers some very delicious choices like burgers, sandwiches, appetizers and lots more.

At Auntie's Bookstore, you'll immediately feel like one of the family!

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, so if you can't seem to find what you are looking for, just ask. There are always poetry readings and different authors stopping by for signings, and the coffee shop in the store is a favorite of patrons who love their cup of joe almost as much as they love their books.
