🎡 Alaska, it’s almost fair time!
The 2026 Alaska State Fair returns to Palmer from August 21 through September 7 at the Alaska State Fairgrounds.
📍 2075 Glenn Highway, Palmer, Alaska
⏰ Open 11:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.
🚪 Closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays: August 25–26 and September 1–2
Get ready for giant Alaska-grown vegetables, farm animals, carnival rides, live entertainment, local vendors, fair food, family activities, and plenty of opportunities to celebrate the people and traditions that make our state special.
Whether you’re coming from Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley, the Kenai Peninsula, or farther away, the Alaska State Fair is a great reason to gather the family and enjoy one of our favorite end-of-summer traditions.
And remember—the mosquitoes didn’t buy fair tickets, but they may still try to join the fun! Pack your mosquito repellent, stay safe, and let Mosquito Guard Pest Control help make your own backyard more comfortable when you get home.
Have fun, support local, and enjoy the fair, Alaska! 🎠🌻
