Alaska's oldest fish derby, and one of the best reasons to plan your Valdez trip around the calendar.
The Valdez Fish Derbies run throughout the summer season with two headline events: the Halibut Derby (May 21 – Aug 31, $10,000 grand prize for the largest halibut) and the Silver Salmon Derby (July 25 – Sept 6, $10,000 grand prize).
Special events within the derbies include the Kids Pink Salmon Derby (free, ages 5–16), the Women's Silver Salmon Derby (August 9–10), and the Halibut Hullabaloo tournament.
Valdez KOA Journey is just 5 miles from the Valdez small boat harbor, where fishing charters depart daily.
