Flight for Freedom Eagle Release

Plan to attend the Festival highlight - the rehabilitated eagle release at the Preserve at 1:30 on Saturday. Anyone may bid in the annual "Flight For Freedom" auction for the honor of releasing one of these magnificent birds back into the wild!

Started in 2003, the "Flight For Freedom" auction program raises funds for statewide educational programs having to do with the American Bald Eagle and the preservation of its habitat in Alaska.

Between scheduled events, you will want to visit our many shops and galleries around Haines and in Fort Seward. Haines offers a wide selection of local Alaskan artwork and other special treasures to take home with you.

Thank you for helping us to celebrate our 18th Annual Alaska Bald Eagle Festival!

Join us for the Eagle Release by taking your own vehicle, ride the bus transportation or sign up for the:
