A month past summer solstice, we're starting to lose daylight and the weather doesn't almost feel quite as summery as it did in May. But we're in prime season for all kinds of activities, from foraging to fishing to wildlife encounters. If that sounds to you like something worth celebrating, you'll have plenty of company. Nearly every Southeast community seems to be hosting a festival in the coming weeks. Some of the festivals are brand new, like this week's Wrangell Bear Fest; others, like the Southeast Alaska State Fair in Haines next weekend, have been around for decades. Here's the Capital City Weekly's roundup of what's on the regional docket for the coming weeks.
