The short version
The 10th annual Spokane Speed and Custom Show filled the Spokane Fair and Expo Center April 10–12, 2026: Eastern Washington’s big indoor custom, hot-rod, muscle, truck, and import weekend rather than a new-car dealer floor. Organizer materials billed 400+ entries across the fairgrounds buildings. Local coverage listed public hours Friday noon–7:00 p.m., Saturday 10:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m., and Sunday 10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with adult admission at $15, seniors and military at $12 in several listings, and kids 8 and under free. Presale discounts appeared at listed Spokane parts and hardware shops. Different product from Seattle International Auto Show or summer Puget Sound street festivals.
Background
Speed and Custom is Spokane’s spring indoor custom destination east of the Cascades. It is the Inland Northwest counterpart to coastal PNW weekends that cluster around Seattle–Tacoma asphalt.

Planning tips
- One full day is enough for most households. Saturday carries the densest floor; Friday is quieter after noon open.
- Kids 8 and under were free in 2026 local listings. Confirm ages on spokanespeedandcustomshow.com before you travel.
- Fairgrounds parking and Havana Street access matter more than downtown Spokane lodging. Build a simple in-and-out plan.
- Do not confuse this with Seattle International Auto Show (new vehicles at Lumen Field) or Wekfest Seattle (curated builds).
- Bring a camera and accept you will not see every building in one pass if the field is at organizer scale.
- Watch spokanespeedandcustomshow.com for the next April dates. The spring Fair Expo slot is traditional, not locked.

- Is this a new-car auto show?
