Hoopfest continues to grow post-pandemic

SPOKANE — More than 4,700 teams took to the streets of downtown Spokane for Hoopfest 2024 last month, the largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament on the planet that features nearly 400 basketball courts littered across the streets of Spokane. “It’s always one of the best times of the year,” said Riley Stockton, executive director of the Spokane Hoopfest Association. “We got really lucky with the weather, the turnout of people, the amount of teams we had. We had a great Hoopfest, and were thrilled with the way it turned out.” There are numerous different brackets at each Hoopfest, which was held on June 29 and 30 – there’s elite-level competition, youth brackets and senior divisions as well as brackets for those with developmental and physical disabilities. Teams at the tournament have a three-game guarantee, playing in a double-elimination bracket.
