Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Saturday, June 14th, 2025.
Today’s forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a high near 79, perfect weather to get out and enjoy a day that’s absolutely packed with community spirit downtown. If you’re just waking up, you might want to grab that cup of coffee and listen up, because Spokane is coming together in a big way.
Across the city, folks are gearing up for what’s shaping up to be a historic day of events. Spokane will be at the center of unity, celebration, and peaceful protest as several annual observances and timely causes all converge into one monumental gathering—the Stonewall Rally. This event brings together Spokane Pride, No Kings Day, Flag Day, and ongoing advocacy for democracy and equal rights.
The action starts at 1 p.m. with the Pride parade winding through downtown Spokane. Expect a sea of color, music, and joy as the LGBTQ community and allies celebrate progress and continue the call for inclusion and equality. The parade is more than just a celebration; organizers say it’s about defending rights and standing for dignity for all Spokane residents.
After the parade, the festivities shift to the Lilac Bowl in Riverfront Park from 3 to 4 p.m. There, you’ll hear from speakers sharing their stories and their hopes for Spokane’s future, along with entertainment that’s sure to keep the energy high. At 4 p.m., everyone is encouraged to bring signs and gather for the Stonewall and No Kings protest at the iconic Red Wagon by Riverfront Park. Organizers emphasize making this a peaceful demonstration, so remember to march safely, use crosswalks, and let your voice be heard with courtesy and respect.
Today is also Flag Day, so while you’re downtown, look for American flags marking the significance of June 14th—a day to reflect on the values our community strives to uphold: freedom, justice, and unity. With national conversations swirling about democracy and civil liberties, today’s events in Spokane are a reminder of the power neighbors have when they stand together.
A quick community note: the Spokane Police Department is asking the public for assistance in finding two missing teens. If you have any information, please check the city’s website and help bring these young people home safe.
So whether you’re planning to march, cheer on the parade, enjoy the sunshine downtown, or simply reflect on what it means to be part of Spokane, today is a day to show up for each other. From downtown streets filled with color and music to the voices advocating for change, Spokane is alive with hope and possibility.
