ANCHORAGE

19-10 Alaska's Best Wholesale Show

Alaska's Best Wholesale Show (at the Clarion Suites hotel) coincides with the Wholesale Alaska Gift Show (at the Dena'ina Convention Center), creating an opportunity for store owners to shop two shows in Anchorage, Alaska. Wholesale vendors of exclusively hand-crafted, Alaskan-made products capitalize on this buyer traffic at Alaska's Best, where buyers hand-select inventory, place orders, and meet the artists. Alaska's Best Wholesale Show distinguishes itself by featuring a limited number of Alaska's best established and emerging crafters, attracting respectful buyers, and hosting a comfortable, fun and friendly marketplace where artists and buyers meet and mingle at their own pace. The sustainable relationships forged at Alaska's Best drive the Alaskan economy. 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. alaskasbestwholesale.com

15-25 Anchorage Folk Festival

More than five hundred performers will fill stages at several locations in the city, including the main stage at Wendy Williamson Auditorium on the UA A campus, for the 25th annual Anchorage Folk Festival than spans two weeks. This Anchorage cultural staple offers shows, contests, classes, dancing, educational workshops, and open jams. Various locations and times. anchoragefolkfestival.org

16 Great Alaska Beer and Barley Wine Festival

17 Silent Film Double Feature

The Anchorage Symphony provides the sound track for two classic silent films: Buster Keaton stars in "Steamboat Bill Jr."--he tries to win the girl, impress her father, and save them both when a fierce storm hits the steamboat; in "Mighty Like a Moose," Mr. and Mrs. Moose, not the prettiest couple with his big teeth and her beak of a nose, try to fix the situation with hilarious results when they don't recognize each other. Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. anchoragesymphony.org

18 Anchorage Wedding Fair

For those planning the big day, this is a one-stop solution for wedding arrangements, including gown collections, catering samples, information on venues, music, cosmetics, flowers, and more. Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center, 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
