SPOKANE, Wash. – Your one-stop shop for all things Bloomsday is back at the Spokane Convention Center.
Every year, one of your last stops before hitting the streets of Spokane with 30,000 other participants is the Bloomsday Trade Show (BTS). It’s happening today from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
This is where you pick up your race bibs and packets before the run. It’s a good idea to know your bib number beforehand (it’s in your registration confirmation email), but even if you don’t, there are ways to find it.
Once you get your packet, you can browse the dozens of vendors offering everything from pre-race snacks to the latest in running shoes and gear.
And don’t forget to grab a free grilled cheese from Franz Bakery, a Bloomsday tradition. This year, they plan to distribute 7,000 sandwiches to attendees.
The BTS is also your last chance for in-person registration for Bloomsday; the deadline is the end of the show.
