GAZEBO NIGHTS

Gazebo Nights Summer Performance Series features live performances every night of June, July, and August from 7-8pm. Performances take place in the white gazebo near Gold Rush Town in Pioneer Park and are FREE to attend. Nightly performances include storytelling, Middle Eastern dancing, music and more.

With the support of Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks and Recreation, Gazebo Nights began in 2002 with a free concert every Thursday evening in Pioneer Park. In the summer of 2004, concerts were held every Tuesday and Thursday. In August 2005, Monday nights were added. In 2006 concert were expanded to their current schedule: every evening during June, July and August. Artists appeared once a week for an entire month.
