Picklefest Celebrate the past, present and future of pickleball here in Spokane with 2024’s Picklefest, a five-day pickleball extravaganza. The event features pickleball opportunities for everyone, from the inexperienced to the obsessive. Starting May 29 is a jamboree with opportunities for drop-in play, organized play, lessons and exhibitions. Playing is free, but donations are suggested to support the Spokane Pickleball Club, a local nonprofit dedicated to growing the sport in Spokane. May 30 sees the start of a pickleball tournament, sectioned into age divisions and skill levels with prizes from local pickleball brand Selkirk Sport awarded to the top three places. Sign-ups for the tournament have closed, but spectating is free.
