The 50th Anniversary was held in 2024. Expo '74, officially known as the International Exposition on the Environment, Spokane 1974, was a world's fair held from May 4, 1974, to November 3, 1974, in Spokane, Washington. It was the first environmentally themed world's fair, attracting roughly 5.6 million visitors. In 1974, a World’s Fair helped Spokane eliminate unsightly railroads from its downtown riverfront and resulted in the creation of Riverfront Park. Spokane was the smallest city ever to host a World’s Fair, so it took the hard work of countless individuals to turn Expo into a reality. First among them was King Cole, the father of Expo. Cole was working as an urban planner in San Leandro, California, when he was hired by a group of Spokane businessmen to help rejuvenate downtown Spokane. Cole was given the idea of hosting a World’s Fair, a project that would generate federal and state funding.
