Midnight Sun Festival

About

The Midnight Sun Festival is Alaska's largest single-day event, drawing huge crowds to downtown Fairbanks for twelve hours under the midnight sun. Food and shopping booths selling locally made goods line the downtown streets, with live performances running throughout. Admission is free. Applications are open to food, retail, nonprofit, and community vendors. The festival is juried, with applications reviewed in batches to build a balanced vendor mix, so acceptance isn't guaranteed and applying early matters. Nite: Twelve hours in one day is an unusual operating profile — deep inventory and staffing relief are worth planning for. Note: You must contact this organizer directly to apply—no application link or vendor information is available online.
