About Aleutians East Borough Fair
The Aleutians East Borough Fair in Sand Point celebrates one of the most remote communities in the United States — the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands' fishing communities have sustained Aleut (Unangan) and mixed communities for thousands of years, and the Borough's commercial fisheries, including king crab and salmon, define one of America's most economically significant but geographically inaccessible fishing regions.
What to Expect
Expect a small community gathering with fishing industry exhibits, Native Unangan cultural displays, local food featuring fresh Aleutian seafood, and the extraordinary community spirit of one of America's most remote fishing communities.
Visitor Tips
Sand Point is accessible only by air or ferry. The Alaska Marine Highway System's ferry route connects Aleutian communities, though weather delays are common. The Shumagin Islands' fishing grounds are among the richest in the North Pacific, producing king and tanner crab, halibut, and salmon.
