kid alaska Anchorage Alaska Oceans Festival
4th Annual Alaska Oceans Festival
The 4th annual Alaska Oceans Festival will be held on Saturday June 10, 2006 and is a marine conservation event developed to celebrate all things ocean. This year’s event parallels World Ocean Day – held on June 8th - reminding us that we are all connected by our oceans, despite distance, proximity and political borders.
The primary focus of the festival is to educate the public and raise awareness about the importance of healthy oceans and to celebrate the bounty of Alaska's many marine resources. With nearly half of the total state population living in Anchorage, the festival presents a unique opportunity to bring Alaskans together to celebrate the uniqueness of our oceans and the significance they have in our lives.
Musicians, speakers, artists, and ocean conservation groups converge in beautiful downtown Anchorage to spend a day celebrating our Alaskan connections to the ocean. Thousands of grateful Alaskans flock to enjoy the arrival of the music, education, art and summer sun. Food vendors, a beer garden, the Seafood Olympics, a foot race, and the “Bucking Salmon” name just a few of the numerous activities that annual draw in attendees to make the Alaska Oceans Festival one of Anchorage’s favorite summer events not to be missed.
Kid events they've had in the past:
Seafood Olympics
Run for the Waves 5K
Marine Treasure Hunt
Kayaking Demo Pool
Kid's ocean sing along
Marine touch tanks
Marine mammal rescue races
Fish art projects
Face painting
Interactive biology lessons and other activities
