Thank You for an Incredible 2024 Alaska Bald Eagle Festival!

Every November, the Chilkat Valley comes alive with countless Bald Eagles, drawn to the late salmon run along the stunning Chilkat River. This unique natural event takes place within the 48,000-acre Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve near Haines, offering one of the most awe-inspiring wildlife spectacles in the nation.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our guests, community, and contributors for making this year's festival a resounding success.
