The Valdez Gold Rush Days are an annual 5-day celebration honoring the past, present, and future of Valdez, Alaska. It is hosted by a non-profit organization of local volunteers. Every year we donate money to a variety of local charities and organizations, especially to those focused on children and the future of Valdez.

​

The 2025 Valdez Gold Rush Days Theme is "Making a Splash!" This year we are celebrating the wonderful waterways that make Valdez so special. From Prince William Sound to Lowe River and everything in between, our amazing lakes,rivers, creeks, and Sound are important to our way of life.
