Places in Alaska That Will Give You Free Stuff on Your Birthday

Blog Headers

Alaskans love to celebrate. Whether it’s a traditional holiday or our unique attention to the summer solstice, we don’t miss a chance to throw a party! Birthdays are a fabulous thing, especially for Alaskans who do two (among many) things very well:

We love to throw a party.
We love to make friends.

Did you raise an eyebrow to make new friends? Sorry pals, it’s true. Alaskans are a friendly crew of people! Many of us have traveled here from elsewhere, making a great conversation starter and commonality. Also, most people who live here happen to LOVE their state – which is another bond that brings us each together! Where there is friendship, there are birthday parties. Embrace it.
