Fox Theater Spokane

Fox Theater Spokane, officially known as the Martin Woldson Theater at The Fox, is a historic Art Deco theater that opened in 1931 and remains one of downtown Spokane's distinctive performing arts venues. Following an extensive restoration, it reopened in 2007 and today accommodates around 1,594 guests in its standard configuration, with higher capacity possible depending on the stage setup. Restored wall and ceiling decorations together with original architectural details preserve the character of a classic theater.

The auditorium is designed for concerts, orchestral performances and other live productions, with acoustics that provide a strong listening experience from the orchestra floor, loge and balcony. An expanded lobby, a pre-show bar and accessible wheelchair seating add to visitor comfort, while the seating layout offers a choice between proximity to the stage and a broader view of the full performance area.

The theater is located at 1001 W Sprague Ave, Spokane, United States. Audience entrances are available on Sprague Avenue and 1st Avenue, with the Sprague Avenue entrance providing accessible entry. Public transport stops are positioned directly outside both entrances, passenger drop-off zones are available in front of the building, and several parking lots and garages can be found within a few blocks.

Spokane, the heart of America’s Inland Northwest, surprises visitors with how strong it is as a destination for top-tier events—from big sports nights to concerts and arena-filling tours. The city has a relaxed, welcoming pace, yet the energy of a true urban hub, so it’s easy to pair an event night with great food, bars, and a stroll through downtown. That balance of entertainment and comfort makes Spokane a practical choice when you want the full experience without unnecessary stress.

For arrival and getting around, Spokane relies on a functional network and clear transportation gateways. Local transit is run by Spokane Transit Authority (STA), and key city corridors are served by City Line, making it easier to reach downtown and areas where larger venues and stadiums are often located. If you fly in, Spokane International Airport (GEG) is the main entry point, with straightforward connections to downtown by car, taxi, or on-demand rides. If you travel by rail, Spokane Intermodal Center is a convenient starting point, with Amtrak and other services that naturally connect into the city’s transit system.

When you have time before or after the event, downtown delivers a memorable bonus. Walk through Riverfront Park along the Spokane River and stop by Spokane Falls—the views are striking, and everything is close at hand. For a longer walk or an easy bike ride, there’s the Centennial Trail, and if you want a calmer vibe and a different perspective, it’s worth exploring historic neighborhoods and overlooks above the river. Spokane makes it easy to turn a ticketed night out into a complete city experience.
