Last year's festival was a huge success and this year's 7th Ocean Festival will be even bigger and better! 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, fishermen, ocean recreationalists, and ocean conservation groups converge in beautiful downtown Anchorage to spend a day celebrating our Alaskan connections to the ocean. Food vendors, a beer garden, the Seafood Olympics, a foot race, and the “Bucking Salmon” are just a few of the attractions that make the Alaska Oceans Festival one of Anchorage’s favorite summer events.
