2026 BAD RASCAL: 5th Ave Arts – Open Air + Open Minds

Celebrate the spirit of creativity and community at the 2026 BAD RASCAL: 5th Ave Arts – Open Air + Open Minds in North Pole, Alaska! This one-day outdoor event will take over 5th Avenue Park, bringing together local artists, vendors, and makers to showcase and sell their work. It’s the perfect way to spend your July 4th surrounded by art, music, and good company.

• Art Vendor Market: Discover a wide range of handmade, locally crafted art, from stunning paintings and sculptures to jewelry, textiles, and much more. It’s a unique opportunity to support Alaska’s artists and bring home a piece of the creative spirit that makes this place so special.
• Art Material Donation Collection: We’re also collecting donations of new or gently used art supplies to benefit local youth and community creatives. Whether you have extra brushes, paints, or sketchbooks lying around, your donations will help make art more accessible to those who need it most. Look for our donation station at the park and contribute to this meaningful cause.
