About Kenai Peninsula Fair

The Kenai Peninsula Fair in Ninilchik, running since 1951, bills itself as "The Biggest Little Fair in Alaska." Held each August, it features agricultural exhibits, a carnival midway, and community events serving the Kenai Peninsula Borough.

What to Expect

Expect livestock shows, 4-H and FFA competitions, commercial fishing industry exhibits, local food vendors with Kenai Peninsula seafood, carnival rides, and a well-organized fair drawing from the greater Kenai-Soldotna area.

Visitor Tips

The Kenai River's king salmon fishery is Alaska's most accessible world-class fishing, drawing anglers from around the world to the "Kenai red run." Seward's Exit Glacier and Resurrection Bay kayaking, Homer's Spit and Kachemak Bay State Park, and the Kenai Fjords National Park's glaciers define a peninsula of extraordinary outdoor recreation.
