Festivals 2003:
We'll start out with a few methods of searching for your favorite festival.
Then you'll find festivals listed by the month they are happening in.
Festivals that only have the month and year listed are not confirmed, and if
you can't confirm the festival, don't make plans for it! Telephone numbers
are listed where I could find them. Festivals within an approximate 8 hour
driving distance from Spokane, WA. are listed in bold, although I may have missed a couple. This list is compiled from numerous sources, including on-line, magazines, previous festivals, memory (uh-oh!), and any other source that I could find. Keep in mind, YOU are responsible for any choices you make here, so check them out first! I'll try to add to the list, make corrections, etc. as I get additional information. Questions?
