Planning Your Visit
Haines is accessible by Alaska Marine Highway ferry or a scenic drive through the Yukon — the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, Glacier Bay nearby, and the spectacular Chilkat Range make it one of Alaska's most dramatically beautiful communities.
Fair Highlights
Expect giant vegetable competitions showcasing Alaska's legendary summer growing season, livestock judging, 4-H competitions, carnival rides, local Southeast Alaska food and craft vendors, and the close-knit community spirit of a remote coastal town.
A Closer Look
Held annually in Haines, the Southeast Alaska State Fair is a four-day late-July celebration on Lynn Canal, the premier fair for the Inside Passage communities of Southeast Alaska's spectacular fjord-and-mountain country. Founded in 1969, it has grown into a beloved annual event for the region.
