Hoopfest is the largest 3-on-3 basketball tournament in the world, held annually in Downtown Spokane, Washington, traditionally on the last weekend in June. Each year, the event features over 6,000 teams, 25,000 participants, 3,000 volunteers, 225,000 fans, and 450 courts spanning 45 city blocks. The city’s strong association with the tournament has earned Spokane the official nickname Hooptown USA.
