Mat-Su Valley Fiber Festival

The Mat-Su Valley Fiber Festival is a two-day event at the Alaska State Fairgrounds in Palmer, where the full cycle of fiber work shows up under one roof. Fiber animals, raw materials, demonstrations, and finished goods are all present, with producers and makers on hand to walk you through the processes in between. Classes and skill-building sessions run for all experience levels alongside the vendor marketplace. Palmer sits in Alaska's agricultural heartland, and the festival reflects that: this is a place where the animals, the people who raise them, and the people who work with the fiber are all part of the same community.
