Upcoming events not to be missed!

Juneau is a year-round destination for Alaska fun, and winter is an especially vibrant season. Two upcoming perennial favorites are highlighted below.

Wearable Art Extravaganza
February’s annual mid-winter celebration of art and fashion is an outrageous good time. Now in its 12th year, “Wearable Art” is the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council’s runway art show.

It’s a chance for Juneau residents to break up winter with some outlandish fun and for visitors to experience the eccentric side of Juneau’s character. Almost anything that can be worn goes – and probably has made an appearance in the runway show. Imagine an evening gown of fishing
lures, models decked head to toe in digital media (CDs), balloons, Alaskan Brewing beer labels, juice packages, shells, or Spam, all sharing the runway with traditional Tlingit regalia, Southeast Alaska fishing garb, and political satire -- you get the idea.

This year's theme is "Fusion," and it's anybody's guess what will stroll down the runway. The event takes place February 11-12 at Juneau's Centennial Hall. Ticket info.

Annual Winter Fireworks Spectacular at Eaglecrest Ski Area:
Just when you thought you've seen it all, along comes the fireworks show at Eaglecrest, which will be held this year on February 18. Colorful bursts of light reflect off the snow and explosions reverberate through the valleys to create an amazing audio/visual experience for spectators. The fun starts at 4 pm with a light show and torchlight parade, followed by fireworks at 6 pm. More Eaglecrest info.
