The Friends of Coeur d’Alene will conclude a four-month
celebration of the 125th Anniversary of Coeur d’Alene Park in
Browne’s Addition with Parkfest on the grounds of the Northwest
Museum of Arts and Culture with music and art, classic cars and
a showing of the movie, “The Music Man.”
The day will kick off at 3 pm with the music of the Jesse
Weston’s Rhythm and Blues Band. The band was voted Best New
Blues Band by the Inland Empire Blues Society in 2015.
A Classic Car Show in front of the Campbell House and a
restored vintage fire truck will be on display for visitors to
view and ask questions of the owners.
The drawing for the winner of an acrylic-on-canvas
original painting depicting turn-of-the-century Coeur d’Alene
Park by Patti Simpson Ward will be held at 4 pm. The artist will
be featured at a “meet & greet” between 3 and 4 pm.
Beer and Wine will be sold on the MAC Garden near the
band. An ice cream truck and the Christ Kitchen Food Truck will
provide refreshments. SpoCats, an oldies trio that plays early
rockabilly, swing, do-wop and '50s pop music will entertain

The finale of the celebration will begin at 7:10 pm when
the sun sets and the movie “The Music Man” will be shown in the
