Be a voice for the river.
The Spokane River speaks in current and quiet pools, in the laughter of children wading and the hush of herons lifting into dusk. It holds our histories, our hopes, and the chapters still unwritten. It carries stories of connection, resilience, and renewal.
Spoken River is our annual benefit-- a night of storytelling, relfection, and action to protect the river that connects all of us. Join Spokane Riverkeeper and a community of river stewards for an evening of local food, inspiring voices, and shared purpose.
