Gathering at the Falls

In our city that’s geographically centered around the Spokane Falls, the community often gathers around the river. We walk along it, cool off in it, and appreciate its beauty on a sunny day. The annual Gathering at the Falls Powwow is rooted in that tradition of congregating by the water, and showing local appreciation for the Spokane River. The weekend-long powwow hosts tribes from all around the region, showcasing their heritage with dancers, food and musicians. On Friday evening, the family-focused Youth Powwow offers games and prizes. Dancing starts up again the following day with contest categories for all ages and skill levels.
