Getting to Spokatopia
Parking for Spokatopia 2023 (Saturday July 8 from 9 AM-6PM) is kind of like riding a bike up a hill; it may be a little challenging at the moment but totally worth it when you get there! Camp Sekani is located between downtown Spokane and Spokane Valley on Upriver Drive on the north bank of the Spokane River (6707 E. Upriver Drive).
Park & Ride Van Shuttle: Avoid hunting for limited parking within walking distance of Camp Sekani Park by parking at one of our nearby park and ride locations and then catch one of our shuttle vans for the five minute ride to Camp Sekani Park.
Family/Passenger Drop Off Zone: Pull into the main gravel parking lot at Camp Sekani Park (6707 E. Upriver Drive) and drop off kids, bags, bikes, and other people. The driver must then continue back out of the lot to find a nearby parking spot and walk back to join his/her people.
Roadside Parking: Park on the shoulder/bike lane of E. Upriver Drive in select, signed locations between Shields Park and Boulder Beach during the festival. Obey all signs and only park where it is clearly allowed and safe and then walk the short distance to Camp Sekani Park. We have permits from the city and county to allow for parking in the bike lanes on both sides of E. Upriver Drive between Shields Park and Boulder Beach where signed open and not blocked by cones.
Park & Ride Your Bike: Park your vehicle at one of our nearby park and bike locations and ride your bike to Spokatopia.
Park & Walk: Park near Shields Park/Minnehaha (the paved and dirt lots 0.8 mile west of Camp Sekani on the north side of E. Upriver Drive) and walk/bike from there.
Ride Your Bike & Park at the Bike Corral: The best way to get to the festival is to ride the Centennial Trail from your neighborhood or from one of the festival parking areas (see above). Spokatopia will have a large, secure bike corral at Camp Sekani to keep your bike (and/or bags) safe while you’re enjoying the festival at no charge. Plus, everyone who rides their bike to Spokatopia and checks it in at the free bike corral gets a shot at prizes and swag!
