Looking to spruce up your weekend?
The Anchorage Weekender rounded up nine things to do, with holiday events (and markets!) in full swing:
1. After School Special
View films made by young Alaskan filmmakers on Thursday at the Anchorage Museum starting at 5 p.m. The After School Special is free, and showcases short films made by those 21 and younger. This event is part of the annual Anchorage International Film Festival, which runs through Sunday. Find the full program directory here.
2. Snow Globe Run
The freezing temperatures are snow-joke, so warm up with The Snow Globe Run on Saturday at 10 a.m. The 4K course is relatively flat. Those looking to run or walk the course start at 11 a.m, while those wearing snowshoes will hit the trail at 11:15 a.m. Participants can meet behind the Peanut Farm on the Campbell Creek Trail. The top three men and women will win a Peanut Farm gift card.
This event costs $30 if you buy your bib in advance – do that here. Find the course map here.A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit the Alaska Zoo, and there’s a critter-themed costume contest starting at 10:15 a.m. Prizes will be given for the best male, female and group costumes…
