Summer Solstice in Fairbanks: 22 Hours of Daylight

Around June 21, Fairbanks barely gets dark — roughly 22 hours of daylight, and twilight the rest. Here's how to make the most of the summer solstice in the Interior.

The Midnight Sun Festival

The headline event: a noon-to-midnight downtown street festival with dozens of bands, 120+ vendors, and family fun, all in daylight. See our festival guide.

The Midnight Sun baseball game

A Fairbanks tradition since 1906 — a late-night game with no artificial lights. Read more about the Midnight Sun Game.

Play through the "night"

Locals golf, hike, and fish at midnight around the solstice. Chena Hot Springs and the trails around town are glorious in the endless light — just remember to sleep at some point.
