The Wavy Bunch finished its annual series of vendor-focused events with a final market in Spokane. This event marked the conclusion of the group's six-event schedule held between May and October.
Why it matters
The market was founded to provide a more inclusive platform for local vendors by an owner with a decade of festival experience. The organizer is now evaluating the possibility of extending operations to include a wintertime holiday event.
The Wavy Bunch has operated the night market for six years, including three years since moving the event series from Coeur d'Alene to Spokane. The organization hosts six individual events annually within its primary operating window.

Industry Dynamics
The expansion of The Wavy Bunch into Spokane reflects the broader rise of independent artisan markets across the Pacific Northwest. These events prioritize unique vendor experiences to compete with traditional retail and large-scale commercial festivals.
Local shoppers and vendors must wait until the spring of 2027 to access the next series of these curated markets. The potential addition of a wintertime Christmas market could provide new shopping opportunities for the community later this year.
The takeaway
The success of this market series highlights the growing demand for inclusive, vendor-friendly spaces in the local economy. Residents interested in supporting small businesses should watch for announcements regarding potential winter pop-up dates.
