June 22-23: Feel the need for speed at Skyfest with STA!
We’re excited to once again provide Skyfest Shuttle Service between the STA Plaza and Fairchild Air Force Base.
Thanks to the 50th anniversary celebration of the Spokane World’s Fair, Expo ’74, bus fare during SkyFest is free on all routes.
Skyfest Shuttle Schedule
Boarding Location: Bay 10 at STA Plaza
- To Skyfest: Buses depart every 30 minutes from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.
- From Skyfest: Buses return every 30 minutes from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm.
Important Shuttle Notes
- Shuttle Route: The shuttle will take passengers directly to Skyfest attractions at Arnold and O’Malley, without stopping at the Fairchild Front Gate. The shuttle will serve one stop at Yolk’s on Highway 2.
- Return Shuttle Service: After 3:00 pm, return trips will bypass Highway 2 and Airway Heights unless requested by a passenger. Let your driver know if you need to stop at Airway Heights, and the route will be adjusted accordingly.
Route 61 Service Changes
Route 61 Highway 2/Fairchild will not serve the Fairchild AFB Front Gate between 8:20 am and 6:00 pm due to Skyfest. The route will end at the Spokane Tribe Casino.
Regular Route 61 riders can access Fairchild AFB by transferring to a Skyfest Shuttle at Yoke’s/Airway Heights Park & Ride.
Security Policies
Fairchild AFB has implemented security policies limiting what items can be brought into Skyfest to ensure a safe event for everyone. For more details on prohibited and authorized items, visit the Skyfest website.
