About Lake and Peninsula Borough Fair
The Lake and Peninsula Borough Fair in King Salmon celebrates a massive Alaska Peninsula borough containing some of the most spectacular and ecologically significant landscapes in North America — Katmai National Park's famous bear-viewing at Brooks Falls, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes volcanic landscape, and the world-class fishing of the Kvichak and Alagnak rivers define a borough of extraordinary natural heritage.
What to Expect
Expect a small community fair with wildlife and conservation exhibits, commercial and subsistence fishing displays, Alaska Native cultural heritage exhibits, and the community spirit of one of Alaska's most remote administrative regions.
Visitor Tips
Katmai National Park's Brooks Falls — where 60+ brown bears congregate to catch sockeye salmon — is one of the world's most iconic wildlife viewing destinations. The 1912 Novarupta volcanic eruption created the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes, the largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century. Iliamna Lake is one of Alaska's largest lakes and harbors one of the few freshwater populations of harbor seals.
