Page 4 Feast of Tabernacles 2022Coeur d’Alene,
Idaho
This year we return to Idaho for the Feast of Tabernacles site in the Northwest. The site will be located in beautiful Coeur
d’Alene. Located just across the border from Washington state, this beautiful area of the country serves as a peaceful and
picturesque millennial setting for the Feast.
Daily services will be at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. Located a short 3 miles from the downtown and Lake Coeur
d’Alene, the Fairgrounds will be able to accommodate up to 400 attendees.
Those flying into Idaho for the Feast can utilize the Spokane International Airport. The airport serves most major
airlines. From there, it is a short one-hour drive to downtown Coeur d’Alene.
There is a variety of housing in and around Lake Coeur d’Alene. Stay at the luxurious lakefront Coeur d’Alene Resort.
Or check out one of the many national chain hotels in the area. And of course, there are plenty of VRBO and Airbnb home
rentals available in and around the lake.
The weather in this area of the country will be moderate during the Feast. Expect daytime highs in the low to mid 60s,
with nights cooling to the high 30s.
Activities abound in the Lake Coeur d’Alene area. Explore the many hiking trails in and around Lake Coeur d’Alene.
Rent a pontoon or powerboat and enjoy the vastness of Lake Coeur d’Alene. Enjoy a dinner cruise on the lake. If you like
shopping, downtown Coeur d’Alene offers a number of antique and craft stores. Venture back towards Spokane and visit a
number of local wineries, all unique in their locations and offerings.
Plans are still being developed for group activities, but rest assured, they will promise to take in the splendor and
beauty of this area of the country. Plenty of personal time will be provided for families to enjoy much of what the area
affords in terms of sightseeing, wonderful meals and unique shopping.
Fragrance-controlled room available: No.
Lodging tax rate: 8%.
Closest airport: Spokane, Washington (GEG), 39 miles.
