Military Relations

We are fortunate in Spokane to have a military installation right in our own back yard! Spokane loves Fairchild Air Force Base, home to the 92nd Air Refueling Wing, 141st Air Refueling Wing and the 336th Training Group.

Of course, we have a Naval Operational Support Center in town, Spokane MEPS – US Military Entrance Processing Command, Recruiting Commands for all services and more. The Spokane Lilac Festival Association always finds a way to reach all branches of service in the area from participating in Toys for Tots with the Marine Corp every year, to volunteering out at Fairchild!
