The Festival at Sandpoint, one of North Idaho’s marquee summer events, is hosting donation stations to collect aid for victims of fires that have affected the Spokane area. Festivalgoers are encouraged to contribute as they enjoy the annual outdoor music series on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille.
The effort reflects the longstanding community spirit of Bonner County residents, who have consistently stepped up for neighbors across the region during times of need. Sandpoint and Spokane share close economic and cultural ties, with many North Idaho families relying on the eastern Washington city for shopping, medical care, and employment.
Details on which specific items or monetary contributions are being collected were not immediately available, but attendees planning to visit the festival are encouraged to check with event staff at the venue for guidance on how to participate in the relief drive.
The festival is one of several community gatherings bringing Bonner County together this summer. For more on local events and community initiatives, see the Sandpoint Habitat for Humanity ReStore Carnival and this summer’s Sandpoint Sharks open water event.
