An annual 5-day celebration honoring the past, present, and future of Valdez, Alaska.

This year’s theme is Valdez Tough: Nothing We Can’t Handle. Oil spills, earthquakes, and avalanches oh my! Our little town has seen epic catastrophes and many of us are still here to tell about it. Whether it be our annual extraordinary snow falls or an exceptional disaster, we stay put and take it in stride.  Toughen up. This is Valdez, this is home.
