Fun Fairbanks Folk Fest Facts
The summer stage is a marvel of Alaskan ingenuity. Every year,
the night before the Summer Fest begins, volunteers rebuild the
stage using a clever modular system created by Todd Beasley.
The Frosty Bottom Boys first started playing together while they
were doing field research at Toolik Station.
The G-Strings hold the record for using the most vegetable oil to
perform at the Fest. They drove cross-country in a school bus
with an engine converted to burn used vegetable oil, which they
picked up at fast food restaurants along the way.

The quilt that is the stage backdrop was lovingly handsewn using
45 t-shirts from past Alaska folk festivals.
UAF’s College of Liberal Arts has more affiliated faculty, staff,
students, and alumni performers, on average, than any other
school or college at UAF.
The Tetrafiddlers and Cattails routinely cram more fiddlers per
square inch on the stage than any other group.
Winter Fest 1999 was the coldest Fest ever, with a low of –51.
Summer Fest 1997 was the warmest Fest ever, with a high of 87.
Ryan Bowers has played bass in more bands than anyone else
in Fest history.
This Fest is the longest running and farthest north folk music
festival in America.
GOLDEN EAGLE SALOON
Lost Dog is the most famous band in Alaska, with posters bearing their name appearing on lampposts, signs, bulletin boards,
and even on the internet, throughout the state.
Musicians welcome. Smoke-free Sundays inside. Best burgers in town.
In beautiful downtown Ester, AK
The youngest child ever to appear on stage was 5 weeks old.
She slept soundly during her band’s performance.
