Summer Parkways 2026

Spokane’s largest block party, where community members bike, walk, run, skate, and dance in our local parks and surrounding streets.

Join in on the fun!

This free event takes place each year on or near the summer solstice and focuses on recreation, fitness, and community. Roads are closed to car traffic and open for human-powered recreation. This event is for families, friends, outdoor enthusiasts – everybody!

June 16 | 6pm-9pm

Comstock and Manito neighborhoods.

This year’s Summer Parkways will take place on June 16, 2026 in the Comstock and Manito neighborhoods. To learn more, participate, become a sponsor or volunteer, please click here:

Summer Parkways is brought to you by a team of dedicated volunteers who come together with the common desire to celebrate healthy community in our streets. Every year the Summer Parkways committee works for months in advance of event day. To ensure the event is free and accessible to all, the committee seeks grants, sponsorships and donations from foundations, local businesses and individuals to make it happen. Expenses are kept to a minimum, however, funding is required to continue bringing you the safe, quality event you expect. You can help support Summer Parkways by donating today. Together, we can all ensure Summer Parkways will continue!

Become a Sponsor

Events like Summer Parkways would not be possible without the dedication of volunteers and the generous support of individuals and organizations like those who are sponsoring us this year.

Your support of Spokane Summer Parkways as a sponsor proclaims your belief in a healthy, active community. We value every level of participation and strive to give value and exposure appropriate to each level of financial commitment.

Presenting Sponsor ($5,000)

Your participation at this critical level of sponsorship makes a strong statement to Spokane about your company’s commitment to building community. As a presenting donor, you’ll be included in all advertising, on our website, social media and press releases. You will also have a prime location along the route to share your organization with Spokane. Your largest logo* will be included and promoted throughout the event.

Hub Sponsor ($3,000)

This is a terrific way to be involved and declares your support for active recreation! You’ll have excellent exposure with large logos* on posters, during the event and inclusion in publicity. Hub Sponsors will have company banners displayed at the Summer Parkways hubs. Sponsors at this level will be included in all advertising and publicity.

Promoter ($1,000)

Enjoy great exposure with medium logos* on materials and inclusion in publicity. You’ll be included in all advertising, on our website, social media and press releases.

 

Spirit Sponsor ($500)

Your smaller logo* will be included on our website and social media.

 

Supporter (>$250)

All supporters will be recognized on the Summer Parkways website.

 

In-kind donations

In-kind donations are always appreciated and will be measured at fair market value or full retail price for purposes of recognizing sponsorship level. Please contact us so we can collaborate! 

*Logo dimensions are dependent on size of marketing material, size of your logo, etc and will be scaled proportionate to sponsorship level.

Vendors & Exhibitors

Businesses of ALL sizes are welcome – from a 1-person hula hoop troupe to a 20-member bike decorating team, we want you to help create an incredible event! Be creative about it – there’s nothing saying the CPA firm you own can’t host a sidewalk chalk art booth (& pass out some business flyers at the same time).

Volunteer

Volunteering for Summer Parkways is as much fun as being a participant.
