Street Music Week 2024

    Live street music performances across downtown CdA (and Spokane). All donations go to benefit the food bank program run by 2nd Harvest. June 10-14, noon-1 pm daily.
    Street Music Week is an annual event with two purposes:

    - Fill the event sites with a variety of music and performance art ever year during the noon hours of one business week.
    - Raise money for 2nd Harvest Inland Northwest Food Bank.

    Since 2002, Street Music Week has been held during the second full week of June – raising over $240,000 so far for 2nd Harvest food bank. Volunteer musicians of all ages, levels, and backgrounds will perform across downtown Spokane and Coeur d'Alene in this fundraising event.

    Performers can take part one day or every day. It’s entirely up to them.
    All they have to do is come to a central location in Spokane’s downtown business core prior to noon. They sign in and are given a red collection bucket and an event badge (which they can keep) that identifies them as a participant.
    It’s then up to the artist to find a sidewalk spot and perform until 1 p.m. Then the artist brings the bucket back to the command center and turns in the donations.
    Street Music Week is open to performers of ALL ages, ALL levels of ability and ALL artistic endeavors.
    “It’s about generosity, not virtuosity,” has become the event’s unofficial slogan.

    This year, every dollar donated (up to $5,000) will be matched by the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation.
