This event is for engaged couples to find affordable wedding decor and for newlyweds to find a new home for their gently used wedding items.

The smallest towns keep the biggest secrets.

A town’s proud history, the legend of a local hero, the coveted privilege of reserved parking: nothing is sacred during the town council meeting. This razor-sharp comedy turns from hilarious to chilling as petty policy matters give way to the truth roiling just beneath the surface of the town’s historical mythology.

Over three transformative days, we weave together multicultural, multigenerational, and multidisciplinary expressions across key regional spaces, including Spokane Tribe Resort & Casino’s Spokane LIVE and the CLTRE Gallery. Our daytime programming is dedicated to local youth workshops and community panels. On Thursday, November 12, these events lead directly into our public evening Opening Ceremony, launching the festival with traditional hand drum and song, tribal history, a live dance exhibition, and a free, nourishing community meal.

The celebration continues on Friday, November 13, with ongoing youth workshops and community panels, followed by an evening showcasing regional stories through curated short film blocks, filmmaker Q&As, and performances.

On Saturday, November 14, we host a morning youth workshop partnered by Asians for Collective Liberation, and afternoon Gallery Exhibit Opening at CLTRE Gallery before converging at Spokane LIVE for our grand finale, which features a sacred Blanket/Gifting Ceremony, spoken word, a stunning interactive Fashion Show Exhibition, and performances. Throughout all evening events, a vibrant BIPOC and Indigenous Vendor Market will run on the Spokane LIVE balcony, highlighting and supporting local creators.

Through art, gatherings, and mentorship, we champion racial and social justice, healing, and next generation empowerment. Our call to action: We Rise Together.
