We are excited to announce that the Mat-Su Summer Festival will be held the weekend of June 25th, 26th and 27th at Alaska Raceway Park in Butte!
This event is the natural sequel to the Fall Festival held last August that many of you participated in, where we were able to welcome nearly 10,000 visitors. As you know, the fall event was the first ever held at Alaska Raceway… and there was a learning curve. We learned some things, we have listened to your suggestions, and we have made some changes to help make this upcoming festival an even better event!
The Mat-Su Summer Festival will be held within the large oval track at Alaska Raceway Park. There are four full acres within the oval, giving everyone room to safely spread out. The music stage and the beer garden will both be in closer proximity to the vendors. Steps are being taken to make sure that internet service is available and reliable for you point-of-sale needs. With live music being an important part of the festival, three-day passes and RV camping are available for visitors who wish to make it a fun-filled music, shopping, and food truck weekend. Weather for any outdoor event in Alaska is always the wild card, but we are hopeful that June will provide a favorable weather window.
Information is online at matsuevents.com, and we’re accepting vendor reservations now. We hope to see you there in June!
