Energy Day

Friday 16 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 comedic relief of Paul Isaak, with electrifying stunts that include flaming torches and a flying machete shave. Dip into the Hoskins Building for featured demonstrations making peanut butter balls, beaded bracelets and repurposing recycled clothing. Stroll over to Pioneer Plaza to help AOGA celebrate Energy Day, and get your photo taken in the free photo booth! You won’t want to miss the newest extravaganza, Cirque Ma’Ceo a contemporary blend of acrobatics, aerial dance and equestrian arts located in the MTA Grandstand Lawn area and proudly presented by Matanuska Valley Federal Credit Union.
