One of Alaska's most beloved community festivals returns to downtown Valdez for five days of history, celebration, and community spirit. The 2026 theme, Gold, Grit & Glory: Celebrating Military Legacy in Valdez, makes this year's Gold Rush Days especially meaningful for Valdez KOA Journey, which is proud to be 50% military veteran-owned. Join in the Gold Rush Days Open Air Market, the famous Wine Walk, the community parade, Can Can Girls, Hoosegow (pay to 'incarcerate' someone you love!), Kids Gold Panning, live music, and much more. Valdez KOA Journey is just 5 miles from downtown, a perfect home base for the full five-day festival. Book your site early as Gold Rush Days is peak season.
That doesn't mean this area has to always be empty. When you start reviewing camping options, your history will display here to help compare sites and find the best stay. You will be able to share your stay information with friends or family and save it for a later time if you have a KOA Account.
