About Denali Borough Fair

The Denali Borough Fair in Healy celebrates the gateway community to North America's highest peak — Denali (20,310 feet) dominates the borough's southern horizon, and the Usibelli Coal Mine's open-pit operation (Alaska's only coal mine), Nenana's Ice Classic tradition, and the Athabascan communities of the Interior define a borough of striking contrasts.

What to Expect

Expect a small fair with community exhibits, wildlife and outdoor recreation displays, Alaska Native cultural heritage exhibits, local food vendors, and a fair honoring the gateway community to Denali National Park and Preserve.

Visitor Tips

Denali National Park's 6 million acres contain just one road — a 92-mile dirt track accessible by park bus — and the mountain that Athabascan peoples called "The High One." Healy's coal mine provides power to Fairbanks. Nenana's Ice Classic — guessing when the Tanana River ice breaks in spring — is Alaska's most beloved community tradition.
