Celebrate one of the largest gatherings of Bald Eagles in the world at the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival. Daily buses and/or vans transport attendees to the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve to witness the annual Gathering of the Eagles. In the fall, more than 3,000 eagles can be found in the Preserve feeding on a late run of salmon.  

Other events include photography workshops, wildlife presentations, other tours, classes, and live raptor presentations. The festival also includes evening entertainment.

Note: Public figures or photographers in the birding world who are planning to attend the Alaska Bald Eagle Fest are encouraged to reach out to Rose Fudge of Chilkat Forever at rose@salmonstate.org.
