The fourth annual festival also will include a beer garden and food and clothing booths. If weather, bugs or other troubles drive music lovers indoors, there are plenty of options in the area. Several bars, clubs and cafes offer music. If you like a boisterous place, Anchorage has several clubs to consider. Live bands keep the place hopping and the dance floors packed.
Disc jockeys keep the music going.
And Anchorage has its share of blues music hangouts. Dozens of cafes offer music along with good dining. If Irish music is your thing, don't miss the Irish Music Festival at the Atwood Center and the Regal Alaskan Hotel June 1-3. Not only will there be plenty of Irish music but the event also features Irish dancers and some workshops presented by the performers. Cyndi Ramirez of Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse serves up a mug of beer.
