This year, we come together under the theme Turning the Tide—a powerful call to action for resilience, unity, and transformation. As we navigate the challenges ahead, we have a unique opportunity to shift momentum, spark change, and chart a new course toward a thriving, just, and sustainable Alaska.
This event brings our community together to celebrate our progress and rally for the work ahead. We will hear inspiring messages from community leaders, enjoy dinner and live music, and take part in an exciting live and silent auction—all in support of The Alaska Center’s mission to drive meaningful action for clean energy, climate resilience, and a stronger democracy.
Your support also supports Trailside Discovery Camp and Alaska Youth for Environmental Action (AYEA), programs of The Alaska Center Education Fund that connect youth to Alaska’s natural wonders and foster the next generation of environmental leaders.
By participating in Turning the Tide, you’re investing in the future of our state—supporting clean air, clean water, healthy communities, and a democracy that works for all Alaskans.

Live Performance by
Big Chimney Barn Dance
Big Chimney Barn Dance is a powerful Alaskan Old Time and Bluegrass stringband specializing in a unique style of North Country Americana dance music.
Steeped in songs and the fiddle tune tradition of the hills of Southern Appalachia, the band honed their sound in our own Chugach Range cabins. Big Chimney features fiddlers Danny Consenstein and Carter Bancroft, guitarist Nate Williamson, Jay Marvin on banjo, and Rachel Overby on bass.
Big Chimney is an accomplished touring act, sharing their music in Ireland and Wales, across Alaska, and at festivals in the Pacific Northwest. With a strong combination of driving dance tunes and memorable songs, Big Chimney can thrown down the fun at a big square dance, mesmerize a small listening room concert or a rock a raucous bar gig.
You can find their album, Woah Mule, on all streaming platforms!
