[Spokane, WA] On Saturday May 21, 2022, the Spokane Lilac Festival Association (SLFA) is bringing together 16 local breweries for the First Annual Lilac Festival Brewfest.
For more than 80 years, the SLFA has championed the Armed Forces Torchlight Parade, honoring our military, empowering our youth, and showcasing our region. This year, Festival planners are adding the Brewfest to the mix to further showcase the region and Spokane’s many award-winning and innovative breweries.
“We are excited to host our First Annual Spokane Lilac Festival Brewfest in the streets of Downtown Spokane,” says Sam Snow, 2022 SLFA Parade Vice President. All tickets include a commemorative glass and 10 tokens for 5-oz pours at the participating breweries.

In celebration of the inaugural event, YaYa Brewing Company has unveiled a new German style pilsner brewed for the SLFA called the Parade Pilsner (5.5% ABV) and is made with malted barley bred by WSU and grown on the Palouse. They will donate a portion of taproom sales from this beer and their headliner Angel IPA to the Festival.
