DOWNTOWN WELCOMES ALASKA’S SIGNATURE EVENTS IN FEBRUARY

Downtown is already Fairbanks’ ‘living room’, seat of signature events, site of our pioneer history and showroom of our community character.  And downtown is getting even better.  For the first time, the Iron Dog finished downtown last year; and now Tired Iron is moving downtown.

To kick-off a fantastic February, the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race starts on the Chena River in downtown Fairbanks at 11 AM Saturday, February 6.  Hook-up in the Borough parking lot and watch the teams depart from the Cushman or Wendell Street bridges downtown.

Tired Iron rattles into town at 10 AM Saturday, February 27^th and keeps going the 28^th.  Activities on the river will span from the Elks Club to the Wendell street bridge downtown.   All-day parking for $2 all weekend in the downtown Parking Garage. 

The Iron Dog will finish downtown noon – 2 PM Saturday, February 27^th between the Cushman and William Ransom Wood pedestrian bridges.

And looking ahead to March . . . the Open North American Sled Dog Race returns to 2^nd Avenue March 19 – 21.
