HEYI DAYS

Anchorage Celebrates Winter

Heyi, meaning “winter” in Dena’ina Athabascan, honors the area's First People and invites everyone to experience Anchorage at its winter best. Running from the weekend after Thanksgiving through New Year and stretching across the community from Eklutna to Portage, Heyi Days showcases the season’s finest activities and attractions. From festive shows and holiday markets to outdoor sports, shopping, and guided tours, there’s something for everyone.

Join special events, get outside, or make your own fun. It’s an opportunity to support hometown businesses, celebrate our cultural heritage, and come together during the winter season. Heyi Days shines a light on everything that makes Anchorage unique, offering locals and visitors alike the chance to experience the magic of our city. By participating, residents help foster a stronger, more connected community, all while enjoying the very best of Anchorage.
