welcome to the GOLDEN HEART of Alaska

On behalf of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, the City of Fairbanks and the City of North Pole, we invite you to come and explore this vast and vibrant land that we live in.

Set deep in the heart of the Last Frontier, Fairbanks is defined by wild places and natural phenomena that awaken the spirit and nourish the soul. With the midnight sun illuminating the landscape all hours during the summer, winter bringing a playful wonderland of white and the aurora borealis dancing overhead on clear, dark nights, Fairbanks is truly a place for all seasons.

Though the locale is remote, Fairbanks remains accessible and enjoys all the amenities you would expect of a charming city. Discover a thriving arts community, locally crafted spirits, savory cuisine and activities and attractions that offer authentic Alaskan experiences. Learn about the Alaska Native heritage and gold rush history of our area and get to know the delightful character of our communities.

Warm and friendly locals will show you why Fairbanks is known as the “Golden Heart of Alaska” and why North Pole’s motto is “Where the spirit of Christmas lives year-round!” We look forward to your visit and to creating memories of a lifetime with you.
