Information About

Alaska Day




Alaska Day is legally observed statewide, and is a paid holiday for State of Alaska employees. It is generally only celebrated in Sitka , where schools release students early, many businesses close for the day, and events such as a Parade and reenactment of the flag raising are held.

It should not be confused with Seward's Day , which marks the signing of the treaty finalizing the purchase.
