In 2006, in a tribute to Spokane's most famous son, Harry Lillis 'Bing' Crosby, the theater was officially renamed the Bing Crosby Theater. Crosby spent his formative years in Spokane. The renaming honored a local legend. Today, the Bing Crosby Theater continues its legacy as a vibrant performing arts venue, hosting concerts, comedy shows, and community events, ensuring that the spirit of entertainment that began over a century ago still thrives within its historic walls, making it a focal point for cultural activities in downtown Spokane.
