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.

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.

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.

The fun begins long before the opening credits roll.

Each week features live music and rotating entertainment that may include:

• Dance lessons

• Historical tours

• Character appearances

• Classic car cruise-ins

• Interactive classes

• Family activities

• Giveaways and games

Every movie night has its own personality, creating a fresh experience throughout the season.

As dusk settles over the estate, guests gather around our giant outdoor screen for a movie night unlike any other in Spokane.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, find your perfect viewing spot, and enjoy a family favorite or nostalgic classic beneath the night sky. Watching a movie surrounded by towering pines, sparkling lights, and the sounds of summer has become a tradition for many local families.

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.
