Energy Day

Friday 15 August

Learn how energy fuels our economy. Join us in recognizing the people and projects who keep Alaska moving forward. To help those facing challenging circumstances, please bring a donation of shelf-stable food items to Fair gates to share with food-insecure Alaskans. Come by the Global Credit Union Bluebonnet Stage for The Strong Man, John Beatty, combining the showmanship of old-time Vaudeville with record-breaking feats of strength, John defies the impossible! Dip into the Hoskins Building for featured demonstrations making beaded bracelets and moose munch candy. Stroll over to Pioneer Plaza to help AOGA celebrate Energy Day, and get your photo taken in the free photo booth! Back by popular demand is Cirque Ma’Ceo, a contemporary blend of acrobatics, aerial dance and equestrian arts located in the MTA Grandstand Lawn area and proudly presented by Mat Valley Federal Credit Union.
