Festival 2024

Theme: Troth Yeddha’ Forever: Our Ways of Life and 50th Festival of Native Arts Anniversary.

Dates: February 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, 2024

The theme for the 50th Festival honored the ancestral lands of the Lower Tanana Dene’–the sacred ridge that is the home to the University of Alaska Fairbanks, that IS Troth Yeddha’, and will always *be* Troth Yeddha’, just as this land has always been and will always be Festival’s home. By honoring the name of this place, we pay our respects to the people who stewarded this land long before we gathered here. Wild Potato Ridge truly is a place of great learning, sharing, and bringing our best.

Thank you to our 2024 supporters and sponsors
