About Chugach Census Area Fair
The Chugach Census Area Fair in Cordova celebrates the Prince William Sound fishing community where the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill devastated the ecosystem and the commercial fishing economy — Cordova's remarkable recovery, the Copper River Delta's extraordinary wildlife, and the Copper River sockeye salmon's reputation as America's finest salmon define a community of resilience and natural abundance.
What to Expect
Expect a small fair with fishing industry exhibits, Copper River salmon food vendors, wildlife and environment exhibits, Alaska Native cultural displays, and the community spirit of a remote Prince William Sound fishing port.
Visitor Tips
Cordova is accessible only by air or ferry. The Copper River Delta is one of North America's most important shorebird staging areas — five million birds stop here during spring migration.
