The Tanana Valley State Fair sits in the heart of Interior Alaska. It is conveniently located in Fairbanks, Alaska at the intersection of Aurora Drive and College Road. Founded in 1924, the Tanana Valley State Fair is the oldest fair in Alaska. Over 1,000 volunteers come together to make this annual summer event an incredible community experience!
Our annual fair is a community gathering point featuring family fun for all, including livestock, games, rides, an amusement park, horse shows, art and crafts, competitive exhibits, quilt shows, giant cabbages, contests and special events, and two outdoor stages with free entertainment daily. Numerous vendor booths and fabulous food can be found at our Fair, making for fantastic meals and snacks, excellent shopping opportunities, information on community services, programs, and opportunities. Visitors can also enjoy a free spectacular fireworks display to close out our last day of the fair!
