Spokane: Abor Day Celebration 2026

Spokane, Wash. ~ Spokane, Wash. - The city of Spokane is gearing up to celebrate Arbor Day on Saturday, April 25, 2026 at the Finch Arboretum. The event, which will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will feature a variety of activities for families and individuals to enjoy.

One of the main highlights of the event will be a brief ceremony at 1 p.m. with Mayor Lisa Brown to commemorate the city's 23rd year as a Tree City USA. The mayor will also be cutting the ribbon on the newly revitalized Touch and See Nature Trail at the Arboretum, which was made possible through generous donations and community support.

The event will offer something for everyone, including live music, tree care and environmental education, free seedlings, and more. It is free to attend and will take place rain or shine. However, organizers ask that only service animals be brought to the event as pets are not allowed in the arboretum.

One of the main attractions at this year's Arbor Day celebration will be the newly revitalized Touch and See Nature Trail. Originally designed in the 1970s, this trail has been renovated with new braille signs, guide ropes, and plants for visitors to explore.
