Fur Rondy Events: A Day-by-Day Look at What to See

Fur Rondy spreads dozens of events across roughly ten days. The exact schedule shifts year to year, but here's the shape of it so you can plan.

Opening weekend

Things kick off with the carnival, the first rounds of competitions, and downtown festivities. The snow sculptures go up and stay up throughout.

Midweek

Quirky Rondy classics fill the middle stretch — think the outhouse races, the Frostbite Footrace, and community events around town.

Closing weekend

The biggest draws cluster at the end: the Open World Championship Sled Dog Race, the Running of the Reindeer, and the Grand Parade — which flows right into the Iditarod ceremonial start the following Saturday.
