It is an oppo rtunity for downtown businesses to benefit from increased foot traffic\, c onnect with new customers and become part of a larger downtown experience. Customers Are Already Coming Downtown First Friday brings people downtown specifically to explore\, shop\, dine and experience something new. Downt own Spokane promotes First Friday from 5–8 p.m.\, with galleries\, retai lers and restaurants participating throughout the downtown core. Research also supports the broader connection between special events and retail act ivity. A 2026 study published in the Journal of Retailing\, examining even ts in two cities\, found that retail-area visits increased an average of 5 .9% during events\, with retail-focused events producing an even larger in crease. The study also found no evidence of a corresponding decline in vis its immediately before or after the events studied. For businesses\, the o pportunity is simple: when people are already downtown\, give them a reaso n to walk through your door. October 2 Is a Particularly Big OpportunityTh is year’s First Friday falls on October 2\, the night of Terrain 17.

The free main event runs from 5 p.m. to midnight and features work by 523 artists\, along with music\, live painting and p erformances\, food trucks\, a photo booth and beverages. The scale is sign ificant. In 2025\, Terrain reported 10\,044 attendees\, 483 participating artists\, more than $86\,000 in art sales and visitors from as far away as California\, Nevada\, New Mexico and Virginia.

It is an oppo rtunity for downtown businesses to benefit from increased foot traffic\, c onnect with new customers and become part of a larger downtown experience. Customers Are Already Coming Downtown First Friday brings people downtown specifically to explore\, shop\, dine and experience something new. Downt own Spokane promotes First Friday from 5–8 p.m.\, with galleries\, retai lers and restaurants participating throughout the downtown core. Research also supports the broader connection between special events and retail act ivity. A 2026 study published in the Journal of Retailing\, examining even ts in two cities\, found that retail-area visits increased an average of 5 .9% during events\, with retail-focused events producing an even larger in crease. The study also found no evidence of a corresponding decline in vis its immediately before or after the events studied. For businesses\, the o pportunity is simple: when people are already downtown\, give them a reaso n to walk through your door. October 2 Is a Particularly Big OpportunityTh is year’s First Friday falls on October 2\, the night of Terrain 17. Ter rain describes its annual event as the Inland Northwest’s largest multim edia art and music event. The free main event runs from 5 p.m. to midnight and features work by 523 artists\, along with music\, live painting and p erformances\, food trucks\, a photo booth and beverages. The scale is sign ificant. In 2025\, Terrain reported 10\,044 attendees\, 483 participating artists\, more than $86\,000 in art sales and visitors from as far away as California\, Nevada\, New Mexico and Virginia. That makes October 2 one o f the strongest First Friday opportunities of the year for businesses that can extend their hours and participate in the evening. It Shows Your Supp ort for DowntownStaying open for First Friday signals that your business i s part of the downtown community. Customers aren’t just looking for a s ingle destination. They’re walking between galleries\, shops\, restauran ts\, bars and other experiences. When more businesses participate\, the en tire district becomes more active and inviting. Downtown Spokane’s First Friday program is specifically designed around this model\, with retailer s and restaurants joining galleries and artists to create a larger downtow n experience. You don’t have to host a major event. Simply being open\, welcoming customers and offering something special can make your business part of the experience. It Helps People Find YouDowntown Spokane promotes First Friday through its website and social channels\, giving participatin g businesses an opportunity to be included in the monthly event promotion. The key is to give people a reason to choose your business. How to Attrac t More Customers on First FridayOffer a First Friday Special: Create some thing exclusive to the evening\, such as a featured menu item\, drink\, pr oduct or experience. Run a Discount or Promotion: A limited-time offer ca n give people an extra reason to step inside while they’re already downt own. Consider a percentage discount\, complimentary item or special bundle . Host Your Own First Friday Event: Consider an artist reception\, live m usic\, demonstration\, pop-up\, tasting or other experience. Even a small activation can give customers a reason to visit. Partner With a Local Arti st or Maker: Feature an artist’s work\, invite a maker for a pop-up or create an interactive experience that connects your business with Spokane ’s creative community. Stay Open Later: If your normal Friday hours end before 8 p.m.\, consider extending them specifically for First Friday. On October 2\, consider staying open even later to take advantage of the ext ended activity surrounding Terrain. Make It Easy to Find You: Use window signage\, sidewalk messaging and social media to let people know you’re participating. Make sure your First Friday event or promotion is submitted to the Downtown Spokane Partnership event calendar so it can be included in First Friday promotion. Make First Friday Work for Your BusinessYou don ’t need a large budget or elaborate event to participate. The most impor tant step is simply being open and giving people a reason to come inside. With Terrain 17 bringing thousands of people downtown on October 2\, this year’s October First Friday offers an especially strong opportunity to t urn downtown foot traffic into customers. Open your doors. Give people a r eason to stop. Be part of First Friday. \n \n \n \n Get on the Map LAST-MODIFIED:20260918T060456Z LOCATION:The Kitchen Engine\, 621 W Mallon Ave\, #416 Flour Mill\, Spokane \, WA\, 99201\, United States URL:https://downtownspokane.org/event/wine-dinner-party-with-latah-creek/? utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=spokane-wa X-SOURCE-NAME:Downtown Spokane Partnership X-SOURCE-URL:https://downtownspokane.org/places/spokane-comedy-club END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Vocal Rehearsal DTSTART:20260924T010000Z DTEND:20260924T020000Z DTSTAMP:20260909T063028Z UID:1921@sllcspokane.org CATEGORIES:music LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T063028Z URL:https://sllcspokane.org/events/vocal-rehearsal-4-2026-09-09-2026-09-16 -2026-09-23/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=spokane-w a X-SOURCE-NAME:Church Council X-SOURCE-URL:https://sllcspokane.org/events/church-council-5 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Magic: The Gathering - Commander DTSTART:20260924T010000Z DTEND:20260924T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260917T092403Z UID:2d3622kss2keh9tmf9o13i8vk1_R20250130T020000@google.com CATEGORIES:gaming DESCRIPTION:Everyone knows Bear Totem is where the cool kids go on Wednesd ay nights.
