Come enjoy a unique culinary experience at the Saxman Native Village and celebrate a bygone era at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show!

Learn all about Alaskan ingredients and their uses in a modern cooking environment. The culinary tasting will offer a unique setting to enhance your culinary knowledge and expand your palate with true Alaskan ingredients. Start with an Alaskan-styled charcuterie board prepared with smoked, wild game meats, artisan cheeses, and fruits; followed by two additional courses selected by the Chef.

Sit and marvel as the Chef goes through the ingredients and demonstrates the techniques used for preparing one of the dishes. All these items pair deliciously with the local wines and beers (one alcoholic beverage is included per guest).

The culinary demonstration is complemented by a cultural showcase of Alaska Native art, featuring a
variety of priceless and historical pieces from the Cape Fox Corporation Native Art Collection. Some of
these artifacts include traditional hand-carved pieces by Master Carver, Nathan Jackson, along with other items coming from the original Village of Cape Fox. Your local tour host will share Tlingit customs, traditions, and stories of the Elders as you are guided through the exhibits.

Continue enjoying all aspects of what makes Ketchikan unique with an action-packed performance at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show where you will celebrate a bygone era. Southeast Alaska's rich logging history comes to life with thrilling displays of strength and agility. These world champion athletes wearing spiked boots and hard hats, compete in 12 athletic events that utilize seven-pound axes, six-foot razor-sharp saws, tree climbing gaffs, and souped-up chainsaws. This will be one hour of non-stop excitement and laughs that are unique to all of Alaska.
