  World Ice Art Championships

  15 feb – 5 apr · meestalIJsseizoenDruk

  Carvers from a dozen countries work blocks quarried out of a local pond, and the finished park stays lit and open into early April because it is cold enough to. Go after dark and dress for standing still. Bron ↗

  Nenana Ice Classic breakup

  20 apr – 15 mei · meestalIJsseizoen

  An hour down the road a tripod stands on the frozen Tanana and the whole state bets on the minute it moves; the record runs unbroken since 1917. Break-up is the real start of the year here, not a date on a calendar. Bron ↗

• Risico

  Interior wildfire smoke

  10 jun – 20 aug · meestalRookseizoen

  Lightning fires in the boreal interior are left to burn where nothing is threatened, and the smoke settles into the Tanana valley for days. Some summers are clear; in a bad one the hills across the river disappear. Bron ↗

  Midnight Sun Baseball Game

  20–22 junSportevenementDruk

  Fairbanks has played a ball game starting around ten at night on the solstice since 1906, and they have never turned the floodlights on. The Goldpanners host it now, and the street festival downtown runs the same weekend. Bron ↗

  Golden Days

  15–27 jul · meestalGroot festivalDrukSluitingen

  A week of gold-rush pageantry ending in a Saturday parade, a street fair and a rubber duck race on the Chena. It is the one week the town is unambiguously in a good mood. Bron ↗

  Aurora season

  21 aug – 21 aprBoek vroeg

  Sitting under the auroral oval, the town claims better than nine nights in ten over a three-night stay if you actually go out after midnight. Get away from the streetlights — Cleary Summit or the hot springs road — and give it more than one night. Bron ↗

• Risico

  Deep cold and ice fog

  1 dec – 20 feb · meestalExtreme kou

  Cold air settles in the basin for weeks and exhaust and wood smoke freeze into an ice fog that sits over the low ground. Cars stay plugged in, and any outdoor plan needs a fallback that is indoors. Bron ↗

  Christmas and New Year

  24 dec – 1 janKerst & nieuwjaarSluitingenDruk

  Christmas Day and New Year's Day are federal holidays: on 25 December most shops, museums and many restaurants close, and airports stay busy through the week between as families travel. New Year's Eve fills bars and restaurants, many at set-menu prices. Bron ↗
