Get ready for the tenta-coolest event on the Kenai Peninsula! It’s our annual Spring Fling fundraiser!

On Saturday, May 31st, join us at "an Octopus’s Garden” at Alice's Champagne Palace with silent and live auctions, food, drinks, dancing, an octo-pie making contest, and so much more! We’re cephalopod-sitively sure you’ll have a good time!

Beth Trowbridge addresses the crowd at Spring Fling 2024: A Whale of a Time.

The proceeds from this event and auctions directly support the Center for Alaskan Coastal Studies' mission and help raise vital funds to support our programming efforts. You'll be making a real difference for the next generation of stewards who will work to explore, connect, and protect the lands and waters we call home. Don’t be a sucker—don your finest ocean-inspired attire and enjoy a night of fun and philanthropy with friends old and new!

Can’t make it to the event? Stay tuned for more information about the online auction in the week leading up to the party! You’ll have the opportunity to bid on packages that help you explore Homer, Seward, Anchorage, Seldovia, and much more!
