The Fairbanks Midnight Sun Run

Picture by author

One thing I enjoy the most about living in Fairbanks is the summers. The temperatures tend to stay between 65 and 75, and sunny. All day. That’s not just the normal hours of the daytime, but 24/7. One of the year’s most important holidays is the Summer Solstice. We celibate that with the Midnight Sun festival. This festival takes place on the weekend closest to the Summer Solstice (June 21st). This year, that is today, June 18th.
