In observance of the Thanksgiving holiday, Spokane City Hall will be closed, along with other City facilities, on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28 and 29.

Additional Thanksgiving closures and cancellations include:

  • Solid Waste Services will be a day late the week of Thanksgiving for residents whose garbage is normally picked up on Thursday and Friday. Due to the holiday, crews will complete Thursday rounds on Friday, Nov. 29, and Friday rounds on Saturday, Nov. 30. This is also the last week for Clean Green yard and food waste pickup. This optional service will soon include the first full weeks of January, February, and December starting in 2025.
  • On-street parking meters and kiosks will not require payment on Thanksgiving Day. However, please remember even when parking is free on holidays, all parking rules, including time limits, still apply.
  • All Spokane Public Library locations will be closed on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28 and 29.
  • The Spokane Municipal Court and Community Justice Services will be closed on Thursday and Friday, Nov. 28 and 29.

The Numerica Tree Lighting Celebration in Riverfront Park is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 30, with festivities from 4 - 7 p.m. The tree lighting coincides with the Riverfront Market event from 12 - 7 p.m., making it a perfect opportunity to explore and support local vendors and artisans.
