Sunshine, small shops, and sweet adventures await
There’s something about summer that invites us to slow down, soak it all in, and make the most of every warm, golden hour. Whether you’re a local or just visiting for the season, we’ve put together a feel-good Summer Bucket List to help you embrace every sunny second — Spokane-style.
Here’s your guide to all the memory-making, sunshine-chasing, small-business-loving moments that belong on your calendar this season:
☀️ Check out a new local boutique
You know we had to start here. Whether you’re on the hunt for a new summer outfit, a thoughtful gift, or just want to browse something beautiful, stepping into a boutique is the perfect mix of inspiration and retail therapy (psst… we know a great one 😉).
Shop Mulberry Market Co. online here!
🧺 Picnic at Manito Park
Pack a blanket, grab something delicious, and spend an afternoon surrounded by blooms in one of Spokane’s most iconic parks. Bonus points if you bring a book or pick up picnic essentials from the farmers market!
⚾️ Go to a Spokane Indians baseball game
Nothing says summer quite like cheering on the hometown team with a cold lemonade and a classic ballpark snack in hand.
🥬 Visit the farmers market
There’s no better place to stock up on local produce, fresh flowers, baked goods, and small-batch finds. Support your local makers and enjoy the freshest flavors of the season.
🚲 Bike ride along the Centennial Trail
Stretch your legs and take in some incredible views with a ride down the scenic Centennial Trail — whether you go for a long haul or a leisurely loop.
🌸 Pick wildflowers
Find a field, slow down, and gather a small bunch (responsibly!) for your table, your bestie, or just because it’s summer and you can.
👗 Buy a new summer outfit
Feel-good fabrics, bright colors, and easy silhouettes — this is the season to refresh your wardrobe with pieces that make you feel like your brightest self.
⛰️ Hike Tubbs Hill
Head over to Coeur d'Alene for a hike around Tubbs Hill, with stunning lake views and just enough adventure to earn that iced coffee afterward.
🍦 Try a new local ice cream shop
From classic scoops to funky flavors, treat yourself to something sweet at a shop you’ve never tried before.
🕯️ Take a workshop
Learn something new just for fun — candle pouring, watercolor, charcuterie, or floral arranging. Spending a summer evening creating something by hand? Yes, please.

However you spend your summer, we hope it’s filled with connection, creativity, and all the little joys that make the season so magical.
Here’s to supporting local, getting outside, and checking off every last bucket list box. You’ve got this. 💛
