High summer has arrived in Alaska, the salmon are returning, and Salmonfest is getting ready for its 15th Anniversary Celebration, taking place July 31, August 1 and August 2, 2026, in Ninilchik, Alaska.
Salmonfest has unveiled its 2026 poster, featuring artwork by Mark Henson and a lineup packed with music across the Kenai Peninsula Fairgrounds and Arches Amphitheater. This year’s bill includes Trampled By Turtles, Guster, Goth Babe, Molly Tuttle, Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, Anders Osborne, Jackie Greene, AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Pato Banton, The Last Revel, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band, Boot Juice, Dead Winter Carpenters, and many more.
The 2026 poster features many unannounced bands, so fans are encouraged to take a closer look. The daily music schedule will follow very soon.
In this year’s art, Mark Henson portrays the heart of the festival, the Arches Amphitheater, a place where music echoes through the trees, joy is contagious, and life’s simplest pleasures remind us what matters most.
This is an invitation to leave the ordinary behind and immerse yourself in a weekend overflowing with incredible music, breathtaking scenery, lasting friendships, and the magic of Alaska.
Salmonfest’s 15th Anniversary Celebration takes place July 31-August 2, 2026, at the Kenai Peninsula Fairgrounds in Ninilchik, Alaska.
