Can you believe we are holding the 39th Annual Bear Paw Festival this year? The Chugiak Eagle River Chamber of Commerce (CERCC) is proud to present this year’s Bear Paw Festival celebrating “PAWsitive Adventures” in our community on July 10 – 14 in downtown Eagle River. There is no doubt Chugiak Eagle River is the premier place for PAWsitive Adventures. Nestled in the Chugach State Park, the community provides adventurers access to endless opportunities to hike, bike, kayak, and recreate while enjoying the benefits of city amenities. Our community features many local businesses to plan, supply, outfit, and recoup from all your adventures! Be sure to check them out during Bear Paw Festival week and follow CERCC on Facebook for more information about our local businesses and organizations. There’s something for everyone at the 2024 Bear Paw Festival. Whether it’s for your high school students competing in the Bear Paw Pageant for a scholarship sponsored by the Chugiak Eagle River Foundation or date night at Bear Paw Paints sponsored by Longship Nursing and Consulting and Paint Nights with Sara and Co. Grab your friends and sign up for Bear Paw Adult Trivia Night sponsored by Corks & Hops, the Slippery Salmon Olympics sponsored by MTA, and the Human Foosball Tournament sponsored by Coca Cola Bottling of Alaska. Be sure to bring the kids and their teddy bears down for the Teddy Bear Picnic sponsored by MEA. Help us recognize the incredible people and businesses in our community at the Bear Paw Community Awards Lunch Forum sponsored by Northrim Bank.
You won’t want to miss the Bear Paw Grand Parade sponsored by Imaging Associates! After the parade, stop by Golden Wheel Amusements carnival and the Anchorage Market Vendor Court. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, you’ll find more fun at the Bear Paw Live Beer Garden sponsored by Partners Real Estate, featuring beverages from Odd Man Rush Brewing, Matanuska Brewing Company, and Susitna Brewing and live music sponsored by Al Bowler State Farm from local bands like Evil Ted & the Thick Pink Antiseptic, Big Steve and the Guru K, Spicy Deja-VU, Four on the Floor, Matthew Nino, Glacier Hoppers, and I Like Robots. For all you car and bike lovers, check out the Bear Paw Motorcycle Show, sponsored by Troy Sayer State Farm, and the Bear Paw Classic Car Show, sponsored by the Sleeping Lady Lions. Shoot some bags at the Backyard Cornhole Tournament sponsored by Mat Valley Federal Credit Union, stretch out those muscles at Goat Yoga sponsored by All Life is Yoga and the Tiny Home(stead), and work up a sweat at the Mustang Bear Paw 5k Fun Run.
Stop by the Bear Paw Headquarters located in the Transit Center for your Bear Paw Alaska Airlines Raffle! Make sure you check out the road closure schedule during the Festival dates so you don’t get stuck. The Bear Paw Shuttle, sponsored by AK Family Taekwondo, is also back with regular pick-ups on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to help you get around and alleviate parking challenges as our Festival expands. With limited parking in the downtown area, this is a must.
There are so many more activities and sponsors to thank for their continued support and contributions to making the Bear Paw Festival better and better each year. Special Thanks to our Corporate Sponsors and Friends of the Festival for helping make the Festival happen. Be sure to visit our website to register for events, find the activity and shuttle schedules, connect with our sponsors and partners, and learn more about the festival and Chugiak Eagle River Chamber of Commerce.
