EVENTS & COMMUNITY
IN HOPE, ALASKA

Hope, Alaska has an active live music scene throughout the year, and especially during the summer months. Whether it's the low-key Open Mic Jamn Nights with Andy Mullen to outdoor festival events at Creekbend Company, busy boot stompin' nights on the deck at the Seaview, or do-si-do'ing foursquare dancing at the Social Hall, music lovers of all ages and backgrounds come to Hope to be a part of the activity.

On the third Sundy of July, Hope transforms into a state-wide destination for runners, both young and old, to recreate the wagon trail journey of the original gold miners. This fun run is a 5K up and down dirty rugged trails and woods starting in downtown Hope and looping right back. Participants receive commemorative shirts, and awards are announced in a wide variety of categories after the finale (including a 90 year old who won "Most Mature").

The event often includes a parade of vintage cars, a pancake feed for breakfast as well as a BBQ in the afternoon, and the famous 25 cent cake walk.
