The
Anderson Festival is located at Anderson Riverside Park, Mile 283 Parks Highway.
It is a 616 acre park with free camping and RV parking. There's loads of
camping space and a view of Mount Denali on a clear day. Besides the
music, there are food and vendor booths, a beer garden, restrooms and showers.
There is an admission charge to the festival by the day ($20 for Friday and
Saturday and $15 for Sunday) or $40 for the weekend.
Children under 12 are free. No carry-in alcohol, no fireworks, no drums or
bongos in the campsites (but acoustic string band instruments are more than
welcome! :-) Sponsored by The Anderson/Clear Lions Club and K&L
Distributors, New Northwest Broadcasters, Clear Channel Radio, Acoustic
Adventures, and Alaska Folk
