Witness the Wonder:

Alaska Bald Eagle Festival 2025!

Each November, the Chilkat Valley comes alive as countless Bald Eagles gather along the Chilkat River to feast on the late salmon run — one of nature’s most awe-inspiring events. Surrounded by snow-dusted peaks and pristine waters, this remarkable gathering is the largest concentration of bald eagles in the nation and a true celebration of life in the Valley of Eagles.

As we wrap up another inspiring festival weekend, we extend our heartfelt thanks to the many community members, organizations, and guests who helped make this year’s celebration so special. Your support and enthusiasm keep this beloved tradition thriving.

🦅 Stay tuned for 2026 festival dates and details!
We’ll share updates here as plans take shape for next year’s events — including schedules, activities, and viewing opportunities along the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve.

Whether you’re a wildlife enthusiast, photographer, or curious traveler, the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival offers an unforgettable experience in the heart of Southeast Alaska — where the eagles gather.
