The Girdwood Forest Fair committee has made a decision to cancel the 45th annual Girdwood Forest Fair.

This decision was based out of respect for the community of Girdwood. The GFF committee is United on prioritizing the safety of our community and the Alaskans who recreate in our valley. While we are hopeful this situation will show great improvements by July, we are not willing to risk the safety of our community, vendors and patrons. We have taken this decision early to allow time for our vendors to adjust to this lack of economic opportunity and to process full refunds to vendors at a time when funds are needed by many. It is a disappointing decision yet we are fully committed to continuing our planning for an amazing Girdwood Forest fair in 2021￼!

Sincerely,

Girdwood Forest Fair Committee
