TONIGHT AT 8PM!!! BUNDLE UP!!The Winter Solstice Festival fireworks show is TOMORROW! 🎆
Join us as we celebrate longer days, shorter nights, and the return of the sun — and a big thank you to Alyeska Pipeline Service Company for sponsoring tomorrow’s festive fireworks display!
📌 Saturday, 8PM
📍 Golden Heart Plaza
It’s likely to be a cold one, so we recommend dressing warm and grabbing a cup of hot cocoa ☕ from our booth in Golden Heart Plaza. And yes: The fireworks show will happen no matter the temperature!
❎ For safety reasons, viewing on top of the river ice is not permitted. ❎
There are plenty of parking and viewing options nearby, but keep in mind that the south side of the river (around Golden Heart Plaza) is the best place to catch the show! 🎆
PLEASE KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS VEHICLE!!!!! It belongs to Teisha Simmons, who is paralyzed and in a wheel chair, and this is her only means of transportation. She is also one of the most giving, caring and volunteers her time to so many organizations in Fairbanks. Let’s get this van back to her!!!!

THROWBACK THURSDAY!!! DOWNTOWN FAIRBANKS- DECEMBER LATE 70’S… SURE WISH WE HAD THOSE TEMPS RIGHT ABOUT NOW!!!
A late friend of mine, Velma Knoll worked at the Co-op for years during my pipeline days.
I wonder if this picture was taken during the winter of '76-'77. I spent that winter in Fairbanks and it was pretty mild for that town.
I think an Army battalion came up from N.C. for cold weather maneuvers and ended up in International Falls, Mn., instead! LOL! I grew up in N. Mn., so I know cold weather.
How festive!!!!
All the restaurants and shop had decorations.
Remember the good ol' days!! Born and raised AND still here! 🤗🎄💜😎
When the Bakery was down town. They sold freshly baked bread.
I remember in 1970 we parked at JCPenney shopping there and then walked to co- op. Talk about cold
I remember those decorations! I had to be about 7! Everyone had morals and values and looked out for one another,. People would call to see if we were OK at -50 below.. I was looking for one of my days taxis in this photo,. I miss those days too
The toy shop.
Is the Mecca Bar still there?
Flip-Flop weather!
I was working for Wien Air in the 70's and remember downtown Fairbanks well, lots of bars, lots of fun.!
I have a picture of the same bank but the temp was -35°
Back when our town was awesome
I remember it well! Fairbanks was the best back then, still love it.
I remember in the 80’s they still did the decorations
I also remember those decorations! The town was much more festive then. Not sure why it lost it’s Christmas spirit. Definitely not the same vibe now as back then! Better ppl then I think!
Merry Christmas everyone!!!!
Wish we had that sense of community and warmth
No block eaters and no toyos. Those are some serious hearty people.
Or town was so festive during the holidays back then. Miss those days.
Savoy Bar!
Remember it well.
Back when the city council gave a shit about civic satisfaction. 😕
YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥧🥧🥧🥧
