2022 Fall Family Music Festival

In 2022, we held our first Family Fall Fest at the Pavilion in Riverfront Park. This event hosted 36 community vendors that engaged the crowd with resources, games, and prizes. These vendors included prevention experts, treatment centers, and recovery support services. 

Over 3,500 participants filled the Spokane Pavilion at Spokane Riverfront Park. The free concert featured headliner CMT Music Award winner Chris Young, who gave a powerful performance, but the reason behind the four-hour event was critical. The event sought to bring awareness about Spokane County's Fentanyl epidemic, offering information and community resources to help with addiction and recovery.

937 The Mountain's Jamie Patrick, Public Safety Communications Manager for the City of Spokane Police Department Julie Humphreys, and KHQ Local News Anchor Claire Graham each emceed the event. Leading up to the show, Patrick, who hosts the Morning Show on 937 The Mountain, promoted the concert daily.

Setting an impassioned tone, all three emcees walked the Pavilion floor to interact with the crowd during musical performances. In addition, they spent time educating attendees about the dangers of Fentanyl and its impact on the community. 

We must unite and work together. It's the only way to end the epidemic of Fentanyl.
