Summer Parkways is YOUR venue – make the most of it!

All are welcome! Whether you’re a solo creator or large team, businesses of all sizes are encouraged to participate. We want you to help build an incredible event so be creative and bring the fun. The more interactive, the better. Games, demos, hands-on activities; your “outside the box” thinking is what creates a memorable experience and truly connects you to the community.

SIGN UP

Summer Parkways transforms our streets into spaces for people to walk, run, bike and enjoy the outdoors. From couples to families, social groups, outdoor clubs and more, we provide the setting, and our vendors and exhibitors bring it to life. The event is about meeting neighbors, building relationships and bringing people together. So, get involved, interact with the community, and join thousands of others as we celebrate Spokane’s diverse neighborhoods in a new way.

Please read the below guidelines and join us to help make Summer Parkways a success. We can’t do it without you!

Family-Friendly Focus – Summer Parkways is a community, family-oriented event supported by city and law enforcement partners. We respectfully ask that vendors align with this spirit; businesses centered around tobacco, alcohol, or other adult-focused products are not a good fit.
Permits & Licensing – Vendors are responsible for obtaining any required permits or licenses through the City of Spokane. Please contact the Spokane Regional Health District at least 30 days in advance to confirm requirements—especially for food-related businesses.
Liability & Waivers – Any waivers or agreements for participants are your responsibility and are handled directly between you and your customers.
Food Vendors – Please be sure you understand and follow all health and safety regulations for operating in a public space.
Noise Guidelines – Events take place in residential neighborhoods, so please be mindful of noise levels. Amplified sound is discouraged unless you’re located in a city park and have obtained the proper noise variance permit.
Respect the Neighborhood – Help us be great guests by always respecting lawns, gardens, driveways, and private property along the route.
Waste & Cleanup – Vendors are responsible for managing their own garbage and recycling. Limited waste stations may be available, but bringing your own bag or container is strongly encouraged. Let’s leave the neighborhood as clean, or cleaner than we found it and ensure the city invites us back next year.
