SPD set to help provide a safe and enjoyable Lilac Festival Armed Forces Torchlight Parade

Spokane's signature parade is back and Spokane Police will once again be providing security for the event. Parade goers will find a uniformed police officer and/or SPD volunteers at every intersection along the parade route.  Additional behind the scenes safety measures will also be in place.

To help ensure the safety of everyone attending the parade as well as others in the area, SPD encourages everyone to follow a few safety tips:
  • Be aware of your surroundings.
  • Immediately report suspicious activity to law enforcement officials.
  • Never leave children unattended.
  • Lock ALL vehicle doors and secure windows.
  • Don't leave any valuables in vehicles.
  • Carry purses and wallets on you and in a safe place.
  • Do not leave purses or bags unattended.
  • Choose an alternative route to avoid congestion if you do not need to be downtown.
  • Take public transportation if you can.
  • Drivers should slow down and be aware of extra pedestrian activity.
  • Pedestrians should exercise extra caution and watch for traffic.
  • Animals are prohibited during special events, so please leave them at home (service animals are permitted).
  • Remember open containers are not allowed.



The Lilac Parade is a fun event for families and people of all ages. Let's work together to keep it fun by being safe! Be sure to wave at your SPD Motorcycle Officers who will be escorting floats and helping to keep the parade on course. And watch for SPD's Officer of the Year, Tim Schwering, riding in the antique police car!
