Here’s our special guide to the Festival of America at Grand Coulee Dam:
There’s a bull ride and wild horse race on Friday, then fireworks on Saturday night may be enjoyed from a park or from the waters of Banks Lake. That comes after Saturday’s Koulee Kids Fest with plenty of activities for the kiddos, and a traveling show going around Eastern Washington.
