A Message from Queen Sarah
Welcome to the city of Spokane! We have wonderful shopping spectacular outdoor activities, cultural events, and small town hospitality. You will find world class entertainment at the Veterans Arena and a full slate of summer events in downtown Spokane. Take a walk through the Manito Lilac gardens, ride on our all original Looff Carousel, or stroll through the elegant lobby of our Davenport Hotel and ask for a special tour highlighting the ghost sightings or love stories. Please call or email us at office@lilacfestival.org for ideas on what to do in wonderful Spokane! We will be happy to offer advice on activities, dining, or any other commodities! We would love to share our Lilac City with you and we hope you enjoy the beautiful city we call home!
We hope you can stay at our beautiful host hotel, the Davenport. All of the Festival meals and receptions will be there. We’ll be in the Tower and hope we see lots of Royalty going up and down the elevator! http://www.thedavenporthotel.com/

While you are there, walking around Riverfront Park, be sure you take a ride on our antique Looff Carousel (http://spokanecarrousel.org). We love the Carousel gift shop! Those of you who are brave might like to take a Gondola ride over our Falls!
Our 90-foot Imax theatre is just across the park. If you would like to take in a bigger-than-life movie, check them out!
