Manito Park Art Festival Unique spaces create unique experiences. Manito Park, Spokane’s eclectic collection of gardens, recreation and history, hosts its second annual artist festival with vendors as varied and fascinating as the park itself. Browse the lawn east of Duncan Gardens to meet emerging and established artists, see floral displays, partake in children’s art activities, and listen to serenades from local musicians like Kyle Richards. Bulk up your Instagram feed with a beautiful photo opp from Desmond Boston. Snag a Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich, a Ben & Jerry’s cone, or a bag of Kettle Korn. And know that all the proceeds from the event go to The Friends of Manito nonprofit, which works diligently to preserve the beauty of the park for generations (and art festivals) to come. Celebrating beauty has rarely been so rewarding.
