Clubs, bars and outdoor festivals are places to find a little nightlife. The June 22 and 23 event features plenty of music, vendors, children's activities and food booths. The eighth annual August Fest outside of Wasilla offers three days of music, camping and activities. Music begins at 7 p.m. Friday and continues until about 6 p.m. Sunday with small breaks for sleeping. Free camping is available at the site, Mile 18.5 Knik-Goose Bay Road.
Hot showers are available for a small fee.
The Blues on the Green Festival attracts thousands to the one-day event at Kincaid Park. Ten acts will fill the park with blues music from noon to midnight June 9. 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.
