Southeast Alaska State Fair

Venue review

The musician's read

Southeast Alaska State Fair in Haines is an independent fairground with multi-day live-music programming across rock, folk, country and bluegrass. The festival setting favors bands that can project to an open, mixed-age crowd and handle the looser pacing of a fair rather than a fixed club audience. It is a good fit for roots-oriented acts and musicians comfortable sharing a larger bill. The venue is all ages.
