Ice Worm Festival

Fur Rondy (Rondevous)

Summer Soltice celebrations

Mount Marathon in Seward

Crab Festivals

Halibut and Salmon Derbies....there's a big one in Homer

State Fair and smaller local fairs

Gold Rush Days

Midnight Sun Baseball game with Goldpanners in Fairbanks

Lots of celebrations centered around gold and the gold rush, the purchase of Alaska, the summer solstice, winter solstice, etc.

The Iditarod sled dog race

The Yukon Quest sled dog race

A celebration of Alaska changing hands from Russia to the U.S. at Baranoff Castle in Sitka. I think it's part of "Sitka Days" a week long celebration.

There's more yet. I probably got the name of some of them wrong but this gives you the idea..........after dealing with the darkness and cold during insanely long winters and being inside with cabin fever, Alaskans will celebrate just about anything just so they have an excuse to get outdoors and have fun in the summer.............actually they'll even celebrate in the dead of winter just so they don't have to wait so long for the summer fun to begin........Alaskans are fun loving people. You give them lemons and they'll not only make lemonaid, they'll make lemon pie, lemon cookies, lemon cake, lemon candy, lemon popsicles if it's sub zero temps..............In short Alaskans will find fun in anything !!!
