Getaway Monday
Since 1935 the Fur Rendezvous winter festival or Fur Rondy has taken place in Anchorage. Over the years the event has transformed itself from a weekend of winter events to 10 days of events. Some of the events remain but other events like Outhouse Races, Running of the Reindeer and a carnival have also joined the event. The original staple still remains as since 1935 trappers will head to Anchorage to sell their goods and the audience comes prepared for the outdoor auction in their favorite furs as well and of course looking for their next purchase.
