Small Town. Big Impact.
Connecting Business & Community
Annual Chamber Events
The Chugiak Eagle River Chamber of Commerce is proud to bring the community four annual events that promote visitation, drive economic growth, and encourage locals to shop and support businesses and organizations in the area.
There are lots of ways to get involved through sponsorships, volunteering, and attending to support the continuation of these long-time staple community events!
Annual Dinner & Fundraiser
Agent 907: License to Chill is the Chugach–Eagle River Chamber of Commerce’s signature annual dinner and auction, bringing together community leaders, businesses, and neighbors for a high-energy evening of fun and impact. Guests enjoy a themed night of great food, interactive games, and exciting silent and live auction packages that showcase the best of our 907 community. This event sells out every year, so secure your tickets early and get ready for a cool night of mystery, connection, and celebration.
Bear Paw Festival
This annual event takes place the weekend after Fourth of July in downtown Eagle River. Featuring events like the parade, Slippery Salmon Olympics, Teddy Bear Picnic, Human Foosball, and the Bear Paw Beer and Music Festival, this is a must do every summer. Visit our large vendor court, food trucks, and carnival rides for a weekend you won't forget!
