About Dillingham Census Area Fair
The Dillingham Census Area Fair in Dillingham celebrates the commercial fishing and Alaska Native communities of the northern Bristol Bay coast — Dillingham is the hub of the Nushagak-Mulchatna river system, one of Alaska's most productive king salmon rivers, and the Yupik and Dena'ina peoples' communities maintain extraordinary cultural traditions alongside the commercial fishing economy.
What to Expect
Expect a small fair with fishing industry exhibits, Alaska Native cultural demonstrations, subsistence food traditions, local food vendors, and the community spirit of a remote southwestern Alaska fishing hub.
Visitor Tips
Dillingham's Wood-Tikchik State Park — the largest state park in the United States — contains an extraordinary lake system in the Wood River Mountains. The Nushagak River's king salmon run is one of the last great wild king salmon rivers in Alaska, and the subsistence fishing traditions of the Yupik and Dena'ina peoples continue here.
