The BP Midnight Sun Festival celebrates its 30th year of welcoming summer solstice to Interior Alaska with a rockin’ street party in downtown Fairbanks.
That’s three decades of live entertainment, family-friendly activities, deli- cious food, and one-of-a-kind merchandise. Three decades of making downtown Fairbanks the destination for Alaska’s largest single-day event. And three decades of community support from Fairbanksans, sponsors, vol- unteers, and downtown merchants.
Don’t miss these festival highlights on Sunday, June 19th from noon to midnight, at the grandest celebration to date:
Browse for gifts and treasures at nearly 200 booths offering an array of products including art glass, candles, leather goods, flags, charms, hand- made clothing, paintings, and more. Transport yourself from Fairbanks to the Polynesian or Caribbean islands with the South Sea Island Polynesian Dancers and sounds inspired by steel drum traditions by Cold Steel (see schedule below). Try your luck panning for gold, or ride a pony at a few of the family- friendly activities scattered throughout the festival. Enjoy fabulous food from Cake Shakes, Big Daddy’s BBQ, Indian Valley Meats, The Pretzel Chef, and more. Support local performers like the 9th Army Band and the 50-piece Fair- banks Community Band, as well as longtime favorites like Marc Brown & the Blues Crew or Dj Double X. Pick up a collectible 2011 Midnight Sun Festival t-shirt and a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 2011 Ford Fiesta– both at the Downtown Associa- tion booth.
