BIG BEARS BIG VEGGIES 2023
September 16, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Every year at the Alaska State Fair one of the main attractions is the giant prized vegetables with record-breaking pumpkins, giant cabbage, and impressive squash. But as HarvestFest ends, what happens to all the vegetables? The veggies head south to attract a different crowd. The Alaska State Fair generously donates vegetables to the bears of AWCC.
Join us at the sanctuary to watch the Brown Bears chow-down!
- If you can’t attend in person, then join us via Facebook LIVE at 12PM AKDT on September 16th, 2023

The veggies are on display at Bison Hall until September 15!
