The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council’s 2026 Concert in the Park is scheduled for Sunday, August 9 from 4-6pm! Given our annual alternating rotation, it will be held in Emerson Park this year.

Thanks to support from the City of Spokane’s Office of Neighborhood Services, Spokane City Credit Union and Gene Brake Real Estate Svc, this concert is totally free and open to the public.

We’re thrilled to feature the band Rockabilly Space Force at this year’s concert. With musical touchstones like Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and the Comets, Janis Martin, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly. they play great toe-tapping music for all ages.

Check out their YouTube videos:

If your food truck would like to serve at the event, or if you’d like to contribute a donation to cover expenses (such as event insurance, permits, band fees), please get in touch with us.

Concertgoers are encouraged to bring blankets, chairs, picnic items as well as friends and family.

Monroe Day at the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market (June 26)

June 24, 2026 Emerson Garfield Comments 0 Comment

We hope to see everyone at the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market this Friday (June 26) for Monroe Day!

Monroe Day is an annual neighborhood tradition that puts the locally owned small businesses of our North Monroe Business District front and center.

As part of the event, several neighborhood businesses and organizations will have booths at the market so you can connect face to face with them while you’re enjoying what the vendors have to offer.

It’s a great opportunity to learn about shops that you might not have visited or meet the owners and staff of your favorite spots. Some businesses may even be offering samples, promos and swag.

The market is held in Emerson Park, which is one block west of Monroe at our district’s north end. It’s a summery, shady, neighborly way to wind down your week.

The cherry on top is that cherries 🍒 are currently in season for a little while longer!

The Emerson-Garfield Neighborhood Council (EGNC) is holding its June 2026 meeting tonight (Wednesday, June 10) at the Corbin Senior Activity Center (827 W Cleveland).

The agenda for tonight’s meeting is available directly here or by visiting the Agendas and Minutes page.

It’s not action packed, which should leave a little more time for casual discussion of what’s happening around the neighborhood this summer, including the Concert in the Park, the Emerson-Garfield Farmers’ Market and other events.
