Special Events
Alaska Day
Alaska Day commemorates the October 18, 1867 transfer of Alaska from Russia to the United States, negotiated by Secretary of State William Seward for $7.2 million. Once mocked as “Seward’s Folly,” the territory proved strategically and economically invaluable. Today, Sitka hosts ceremonies honoring this pivotal moment in American expansion.

Alaska Wild Salmon Day, celebrated annually on August 10th, honors the fish that has defined the Last Frontier for millennia. This observance recognizes five Pacific salmon species that comprise 98% of U.S. wild harvests while supporting 50,000 jobs and Indigenous cultural heritage.
