Palmer Begin by heading nine miles northeast on the Glenn Highway and then hop on Farm Loop Road and, if it’s mid- to late summer, keep an eye out for roadside vegetable stands. Palmer’s most popular agricultural attraction is the annual Alaska State Fair, a rollicking 12-day event that ends on Labor Day. There’s live music, a rodeo, a carnival, the Great Alaskan Husband Holler contest, greased pig races and, of course, the giant cabbage weigh-off to see who grew the biggest one in Alaska.

Best Time to Visit Alaska Put it all together, and we peg June 15 - July 15 as the best time to visit Alaska. But not everyone can visit during that month window, and that's no problem. Alaska weather is not predictable. You can come in August and bask in sunshine or in June and face horizontal rain (driving rain plus strong winds). Alaskans have learned not to let weather interfere with their plans—or mood.
