Commemorating our independence from Great Britain – our island is sure to celebrate! From fireworks to parades, barbecues to our local street fair, this little island in Southeast Alaska puts on quite the show! This year we celebrated our independence over the course of 3 days of fun. The rain let up just as the parade started (and started just as the parade ended) allowing for us to catch candy and cheer on the parade participants. The fireworks display during the evening was amazing as well. There was lots of activities for everyone to enjoy as Alaska’s “Little Norway” residents put on quite the celebration. If you have not experienced being in Petersburg Alaska during this time you should plan for it in the future!
