About Kodiak Island Borough Fair
The Kodiak Island Borough Fair in Kodiak celebrates the second-largest island in the United States — the Kodiak Archipelago's commercial fishing fleet is one of Alaska's most significant, and the Kodiak brown bear (the largest bear subspecies on Earth) defines the island's character, along with the Alutiiq (Sugpiaq) people's extraordinary cultural heritage and the Russian Orthodox heritage from the first permanent Russian settlement in Alaska (1784).
What to Expect
Expect community exhibits, commercial fishing industry displays, Kodiak brown bear and wildlife exhibits, Alutiiq cultural demonstrations, local food vendors with extraordinary Kodiak crab and seafood, and the adventurous spirit of Alaska's "Emerald Isle."
