Arctic Fest Information Session

Join us for a virtual information session on Oct. 26  from 4-6 p.m. where Arctic Fest co-organizers will share an overview of the festival and answer questions for interested individuals wishing to assist in planning next year’s event. All interested ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ personnel and community members are invited to attend!

Arctic Fest is a biennial community-wide festival that takes place in Fairbanks, ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ. The festival focuses on environmental-change research, innovation, and solutions in the circumpolar North combining the arts, sciences, and Indigenous cultural and knowledge systems. Arctic Fest is co-organized by ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ together with community-based partner organizations. 

Arctic Fest 2024 will be held from Sept. 5-7, 2024. 

The first ever Arctic Fest was held in September 2022 and featured art-science and Indigenous art exhibits, scientific research, workshops, tours, a live performance by Inuit soul band Pamyua, panel discussions, presentations, a puppet parade, and more.
