About Prince of Wales Hyder Census Area Fair
The Prince of Wales-Hyder Census Area Fair in Craig celebrates the third-largest island in the United States — Prince of Wales Island's Tlingit and Haida peoples' cultural heritage, the island's vast Tongass National Forest timber heritage, and the remote community of Hyder (accessible from Stewart, British Columbia) define a census area of remarkable cultural and natural diversity.
What to Expect
Expect a small community fair with Southeast Alaska Native cultural heritage exhibits, timber and fishing industry displays, local food vendors, and the community spirit of remote island communities accessible only by air or Alaska Marine Highway ferry.
Visitor Tips
Craig's location on Prince of Wales Island's western coast makes it accessible by ferry from Ketchikan. The island's old-growth Sitka spruce and western red cedar forests are among the most biodiverse in Alaska. Hyder — at the head of the Portland Canal — is an American community accessible only through Canada.
