BRICK FEST One of the city’s community celebrations is returning in a big way

Summer in Spokane means long days, great company, live music filling the air, and one of the city’s biggest community celebrations is returning in a big way.

KYRS Thin Air Community Radio is proud to once again partner with Brick West Brewing Co. for the 3rd Annual BRICK FEST Music Festival, happening Saturday, June 6th, in the West End Plaza.

What began as a community-centered music celebration has quickly grown into one of Spokane’s signature summer events, bringing together thousands of music fans, families, artists, and neighbors for a full day of live performances, connection, and local culture, all completely free and open to the public.

Hosted by KYRS Thin Air Community Radio and Brick West Brewing Co., BRICK FEST 2026 will feature an exciting lineup of regional talent from Spokane and across the Pacific Northwest, showcasing a wide range of musical styles including rock, soul, hip hop, folk, indie, and more.

This year’s festival features an eclectic mix of performers guaranteed to keep the West End Plaza energized all day long:

More than just a music festival, BRICKFEST reflects the shared mission of KYRS and Brick West Brewing: building community through creativity, connection, and local culture.

The event offers a chance for people of all ages to gather outdoors, discover new artists, support local music, and experience the vibrant energy that makes Spokane special. Whether you come for a favorite band, a cold beverage, or simply to enjoy a summer afternoon with friends and family, BRICK FEST delivers an unforgettable community experience.
