Diversity is probably not the first thing that comes to mind when people think of Spokane. For those who think it’s a culturally desolate place, the Fall Folk Festival is a multicultural oasis. The 15th Annual Fall Folk Festival, presented by the Spokane Folklore Society is showcasing a cultural cornucopia of traditional music, dancing and crafts from around the world this weekend.

Question: Would you like to see the Inland Northwest become more diverse culturally? Stay the same as now? Or become less diverse?
