Welcome to the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival!

As winter sets in, temperatures drop, and the mountain tops are dusted with snow, Haines, Alaska, invites you to the 2024 Alaska Bald Eagle Festival. From November 8th to 10th, this celebration brings guests and locals together to witness and honor the incredible gathering of Bald Eagles along the Chilkat River—the largest event of its kind in North America!

 

A Celebration of Eagles and Biodiversity

This year, we focus on the remarkable biodiversity of the Chilkat Valley, an ecosystem that plays a vital role in supporting the majestic Bald Eagles and countless other forms of life. The annual return of the eagles, drawn by the late salmon run, serves as a powerful reminder of the interconnectedness of nature and our responsibility to protect this unique environment.

As you participate in festival events, from educational workshops to engaging community activities, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the valley's rich natural resources and the conservation efforts essential for their preservation. This is more than just an opportunity to marvel at the sight of eagles; it's a chance to celebrate and reflect on the thriving life that calls this valley home.

 

Experience the Festival Your Way

The festival weekend offers something for everyone, from nature enthusiasts and bird watchers to families and community members. Enjoy workshops, cultural performances, and activities that highlight the importance of biodiversity and inspire a shared commitment to conservation.
