Just because summer has ended, doesn't mean the Douglas 4th of July Committee is taking a break!
Our team is hard at work year-round to ensure Douglas remains the most exciting place to live and celebrate. We're already planning next year’s 4th of July festivities, bringing together the perfect mix of tradition and fun that makes our community proud.
Summer Program
The focus of the Fourth of July in Douglas has always been on the children and the community coming together to celebrate. Competition including ballgames, and fire hose events between Juneau and Douglas have gone back through our history to the days the Treadwell Mine was in operation.
Fall Program
The Committee puts on a couple of great fall activities for when the weather often turns to the wetter and windier variety. With a few back-to-school events as well as some Halloween themed events, we try to keep the children and community of Douglas coming together in the cooler fall days.
Winter Program
Winters in Douglas, Alaska can be long, cold, dark, and lonely. The Committee adheres to our commitment to bringing the children and the community together for the beginning of the winter and Christmas season. We encourage all our friends and neighbors to join in the festivities.
