The Yuletide Festival is open today 12\/2<\/strong>1<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step out of the dark and into an immersive magical experience with lights aglow. Enjoy the warm glow of an old-fashioned Christmas at the Alaska State Fairgrounds this December! In partnership with the Christmas Factory, the Fair is bringing the holiday spirit to life with the Yuletide Festival. After driving through the dazzling Bright Up the Night light display, visit the Yuletide Festival and immerse yourself in the warmth of a classic Christmas celebration.
Stroll the Fairgrounds and discover festive delights at every turn: savor seasonal treats from food trucks, sip mulled wine, hot spiced cider, hot chocolate or a festive mocktail, and gather with friends and family around the crackling firepit. Step inside the Don Sheldon to shop for unique gifts from local vendors or let the kids\u2019 laughter ring out as they enjoy carnival rides like the carousel, giant slide, and spinning apples.
Throughout the festival, enjoy live holiday music from Alaskan performers, cozy movie showings, and plenty of games and activities indoors and out.
Whether you\u2019re here for the lights, the music, the food, or simply the joy of being together, the Yuletide Festival is your invitation to celebrate the season in true Fair style. Come make memories that will warm your heart all winter long! The Yuletide Festival run from December 5 – 7, December 12 – 14 and December 19 – 23 from 5PM to 10PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
