About Aleutians West Census Area Fair
The Aleutians West Census Area Fair in Unalaska (Dutch Harbor) celebrates the most commercially significant fishing port in the United States — Dutch Harbor has been the #1 US fishing port by volume and value for decades, and the community's Russian Orthodox heritage (Cathedral of the Holy Ascension dates to 1826), the World War II Aleutian Campaign history, and the crab fishing industry define an extraordinary community.
What to Expect
Expect a small fair with fishing industry exhibits, Russian Orthodox cultural displays, Unangan (Aleut) cultural heritage exhibits, local seafood food vendors, and the resilient community spirit of one of America's most remote working fishing ports.
Visitor Tips
The Museum of the Aleutians in Unalaska preserves the extraordinary history of the Unangan people and the WWII Aleutian Campaign. Dutch Harbor's crab fishing boats are the stars of "Deadliest Catch." The Cathedral of the Holy Ascension — Alaska's oldest Russian Orthodox church still in use — dates to 1826.
