The City of Spokane and Spokane Hoopfest are reminding the public that some downtown streets will be closed off beginning Friday, June 24 at 7 p.m. in order for volunteers to begin transforming the downtown core into hundreds of basketball courts for this weekend's tournament.

"We are excited to have the event back and also realize that it's been three years, people are out of practice and some things in the downtown environment have changed," says Communications Manager Kirstin Davis. "We have new meters in place, an updated parking reservation system that doesn't look the same and construction projects underway so it can be a lot to take in and navigate."
