The Willow Winter Carnival is an annual celebration of winter in Alaska that is held at the end of January and beginning of February each year. Established over 50 years ago, the carnival features a variety of events that take place on Willow Lake and in the nearby Willow Community Center, where the celebration kicks off with a dinner on the first night. Other exciting happenings at the carnival include sled dog races, foot races and fat-tire bike races, talent contests, $1,000 bingo cash pots, and the state’s biggest winter fireworks display. The second weekend features the “Talent or Not” competition in which jugglers, dancers, singers, and fire twirlers take to the stage to showcase their skills or lack thereof.
