Yuletide Festival

Step back in time and experience the magic 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 or visiting the whimsical Christmas Factory, 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’ 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’re 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!
