Bloomsday is the largest timed race in the world, and, as its name indicates, is held every first Sunday in May. The race is held in Spokane and it spans 7.46 miles; its participants train for the stretch all year long. It is quite a spectacle to see the over 50,000 runners take to the racing route and engage in a dramatic competition that not only celebrates the discipline and spirit of athletic competition, it also aptly celebrates Spokane's undeniable community spirit.
History and drama converge at the Bing Crosby Theater, also known as the Metropolitan Performing Arts Center. This structure originally opened in 1915 as the Old Clemmer Theatre and has since been added to the National List of historic Places. The stage in this vintage venue has been the place where several classic performances have taken place, among them such notable stage presentations of Gone with the Wind and The Godfather. Today, it is widely considered to be Spokane's most impressive venue where ballets, plays, classical concerts, and other entertainment still electrifies audiences.
