OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: Office of FNSB Mayor Grier Hopkins!

Today in the Assembly Chambers, Fairbanks North Star Borough Mayor Grier Hopkins and representatives of the Arctic Winter Games International Committee signed the Host Agreement for the 2028 Arctic Winter Games! ❄️ ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

The 2028 Arctic Winter Games will be held in Fairbanks in March 2028, bringing 1000s of athletes and participants from across the circumpolar North to the community for a week of competition, cultural exchange and celebration.

The Host Agreement outlines the respective responsibilities of the Fairbanks North Star Borough and the 2028 Arctic Winter Games Host Society, a nonprofit organization established to organize and host the Games.

With the agreement in place, preparations for the 2028 Games will continue to ramp up. Over the next 18 months, the Borough and Host Society will work together to select and prepare venues, recruit community volunteers and coordinate the many logistical details necessary to successfully host the Arctic Winter Games.

“The Arctic Winter Games are an incredible opportunity to showcase Fairbanks and bring the circumpolar North together right here in our community,” said Borough Mayor Grier Hopkins. “This agreement marks an important step forward as we prepare to welcome athletes, coaches, families and visitors from across the North in 2028.”

The Arctic Winter Games are an international celebration of northern sports and culture, bringing together young athletes from the circumpolar regions to compete, build friendships and share their traditions.
