& Appearances from Local Mascots

What better way to spend a Friday afternoon, but on the lawn of Riverfront Park with a picnic lunch and some rousing traditional music from The Spokane British Brass Band Ensemble, who will take you back to the days of The Crystal Palace in London, site of the first brass band festival in 1900.

During the concert, local mascots Wattson, the Avista Energy Dog, Otto from the Spokane Indians, and the Tooth Fairy from Moffitt Children's Dentistry, will gather up the kids for a march around the park to the sounds of trumpets, tubas, and euphoniums!

The Spokane British Brass Band is a community group comprised of horn musicians from all walks of life. They strive to provide high-level performances, encompassing a wide variety of musical styles, including original brass band literature, marches, band, and orchestra transcriptions, and even some jazz — so their KPBX Kids’ Concert is bound to be entertaining. Make sure not to miss this lively outdoor performance at noon on June 19.
