Free Saturday event brings more than 30 local organizations together to showcase activities 

ANCHORAGE, Alaska (November 10, 2026) – Join us for the 2026 Parks + Trails Recreation Fair on Saturday,  November 14, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Kincaid Park Chalet. This free, family-friendly event brings  together more than 30 local nonprofits, businesses, clubs, artists, and community organizations to share  opportunities to explore new interests, volunteer, and connect. Participating organizations include Alaska Rock  Gym, Anchorage Museum, Nordic Ski Association of Anchorage, Optimist Club of Anchorage, Anchorage  Audubon Society, and Hilltop Ski Area, among many others. 

Anchorage winters are long, dark, and snowy, but they also offer opportunities to get outside, connect with  others, and enjoy our community. The Anchorage Park Foundation is working with community partners to  embrace winter and make it easier and more enjoyable for residents to stay active and engaged throughout  the season. 

The fair is part of APF's broader work with community partners to advance a winter city strategy that  celebrates Anchorage's season of snow. Beyond recreation, embracing winter can improve community health,  enhance livability, and create economic value. When more people enjoy our parks, trails, and public spaces,  Anchorage becomes a more vibrant and welcoming place to live and visit. 

“We have an opportunity to embrace winter as a season to get outside, build community, and celebrate  everything that makes Anchorage a great place to live year-round,” said Michelle LeBeau, Deputy Director of  the Anchorage Park Foundation. “We hope you'll join us!”
