Fodor's Expert Review Anchorage Market and Festival

On weekends from mid-May to mid-September, the Anchorage Market and Festival opens for business in the south parking lot of the Dimond Center mall. Dozens of vendors offer Alaskan-made crafts, international imports, and deliciously fattening food. Stock up on birch candy and salmon jerky to snack on while traveling or as perfect made-in-Alaska gifts for friends back home.
