The Southeast Alaska State Fair in Haines runs July 23‑26, 2026, featuring the Home Fair, Great Alaska Craft Beer & Home Brew Festival, Fishermen’s Free Salmon Barbecue (June 20, 2026), and Spring Fling (April 18, 2026). The 42‑acre fairgrounds serve as a year‑round community hub with free disc‑golf (Raven’s Bowl), a community garden, and a summer farmers market every Saturday starting June 4. Dalton City, a replica Gold‑Rush set from the 1991 Disney film White Fang, offers rental spaces for artists and small businesses. Seasonal amenities include a hockey rink, pickleball courts, playground, Little League, cross‑country ski trails, and winterfest events. The fairgrounds also host various festivals (Back Country Games, Haines Hustle, Halloween) and provide rental, volunteer, membership, and sponsorship opportunities. Visitors are reminded to respect wildlife, keep the area clean, and follow pet and liability rules.
