There is something magical about summer evenings in Spokane.
The sun lingers a little longer, laughter carries through the trees, and families gather outdoors to enjoy the simple joys of community. At Commellini Estate, those moments come together every Wednesday evening during Moonshine: Artisan Night Market & Moonlit Movies.
Running Wednesdays from June through August, Moonshine transforms our historic Italian estate into a vibrant gathering place filled with local artisans, live music, delicious food, handcrafted cocktails, family activities, and outdoor movies beneath the stars. Whether you’re looking for a unique date night, a family-friendly outing, or a midweek escape with friends, Moonshine offers something for everyone.
More Than a Night Market
Moonshine is more than just shopping and movies. It is a celebration of local creativity and community.
As you stroll through the estate, you’ll discover a rotating collection of artisan vendors offering handcrafted goods, artwork, home décor, specialty foods, jewelry, and unique treasures created right here in the Inland Northwest. Every week brings new makers and new finds, making each visit a little different from the last.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Guests can wander through the market, enjoy live music, participate in themed activities, and connect with local businesses and organizations while enjoying one of Spokane’s most picturesque outdoor venues.
Dinner, Drinks, and Italian Hospitality
No evening at Commellini Estate would be complete without great food.
Throughout Moonshine, guests can enjoy scratch-made Italian dishes inspired by generations of family recipes, along with quick bites, desserts, and seasonal specials. Our bars feature wine, beer, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages to complement the evening.
Whether you’re enjoying a handcrafted pasta dish, sharing snacks with friends, or sipping a cocktail by the pond, Moonshine is designed to encourage guests to slow down, relax, and savor summer.

A Summer Tradition for Spokane
At its heart, Moonshine is about bringing people together.
It is a place where local artists connect with customers, families make memories, friends gather after work, and visitors discover why community has always been at the center of Commellini Estate.
Inspired by the Italian tradition of escaping the city to enjoy food, conversation, and nature, Moonshine invites guests to slow down and reconnect with the people around them.
