Good morning, this is your Spokane Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 23, 2025. Thanks for tuning in as we bring you the stories and happenings shaping our city today.

First up, Spokane is still buzzing after the news that legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath will be bringing their much-anticipated concert to town, stirring both excitement and plenty of nervous energy among locals and city leaders. Get ready for a night of rock history when the band takes the stage—venues and downtown restaurants are preparing for a wave of music fans well into the weekend.

Turning to civic developments, Spokane police and fire departments are set to receive millions of dollars in new equipment, aiming to improve response times and public safety across the region. This investment is part of broader efforts to address Spokane’s growth and evolving needs, and city leaders are promising that the benefits will reach neighborhoods across Spokane.

For those who rely on public transit, there is another significant update as Spokane Transit Authority welcomes its new chief. As a lifelong advocate for public transportation, she described Spokane as “fundamentally a transit town,” signaling big hopes for smoother commutes, expanded service, and greener options in the years ahead.

If your summer plans call for some local fun, look no further than the free pool party tonight at Hillyard Aquatic Center from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. Sponsored by Providence Inland Northwest and the Spokane Parks Foundation, it’s a perfect way to cool off with your neighbors, enjoy music, refreshments, and win prizes. Don’t forget your swimsuit and sunscreen, Spokane families.

Looking for live music? ZOLA in downtown Spokane is the place to be. Tonight’s performance features Akifumi Kato, an ensemble known for pushing musical boundaries and fostering the local scene. Wednesdays at ZOLA have become a launchpad for rising talent, so whether you’re a music lover or a musician eager for your moment, this is an evening not to miss.

Art lovers, check out the Liberty Gallery’s photography show focusing on the Northwest’s diverse landscapes and wildlife, running all day with free admission. The River Ridge Association of Fine Arts also holds its regular morning meeting at Spokane Art Supply, so if you crave inspiration, drop in for a creative boost.

For families and adventure seekers, the Spokane Valley scavenger hunt kicks off today. Sign up online or onsite for a day of riddles, problem-solving, and laughter as you explore corners of the Valley you may never have seen before.

Finally, if you’re thinking about giving back or switching careers, the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office is actively recruiting deputies. With new patrol equipment and community outreach initiatives, it’s a chance to make a difference in Spokane’s future.

Remember, today is the last day to register for the upcoming Spike and Dig volleyball tournament at Dwight Merkel Field, one of the biggest coed volleyball events of the year, happening early next month.
