Join the Downtown Association of Fairbanks as we celebrate the 2016 Midnight Sun Festival early by holding a kickoff bash on First Friday, June 3, on the Lavelle’s Bistro patio.
The evening includes a raffle, a First Friday venue scavenger hunt, giveaways and music. Event goers will be able to purchase – in advance of the Midnight Sun Festival, itself – the official 2016 festival t-shirt designed by Lauren Hatty! Lauren will also be joining us during the evening.
You can pick up this year’s logo on red and blue t-shirts or – for the first time ever – grab our logo on a hot, new black tank top and black trucker hat!
The scavenger hunt will bring together numerous downtown venues for a larger First Friday evening with hunters earning the chance to enter one of several raffles. To play, scavenger hunters will pick up a First Friday passport at Lavelle’s Bistro and then visit the venues printed on it. Raffle winners will have the chance to score cool Midnight Sun Festival merchandise!

You can also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win several prizes, including: two scooters and tickets for Alaska Airlines and RAVN Alaska. The prize winners will be announced at the Midnight Sun Festival on June 19.
You can enjoy a Midnight Sun Festival-themed mixed drink designed by Lavelle’s Bistro while listening to a curated playlist of music from “The Downtowner”, the Downtown Association’s official radio show on KSUA 91.5FM.
Make sure to include our Midnight Sun Festival kickoff party on your First Friday tour and RSVP.
