A Woman's Affair
- April 2-4, 2027
- Carlson Center – Fairbanks, Alaska
A Woman’s Affair, sponsored by Borealis Med Spa, is a popular Fairbanks event celebrating women-owned and women-focused businesses. Attendees can explore a wide range of experiences—from learning about health and wellness, shopping for the latest styles, sampling tasty treats, picking up beauty tips, to discovering fresh home décor ideas—all in one place. While the event is designed with women in mind, it is open and welcoming to everyone. Co-sponsored by Lotto Alaska and the Alaska Salmon Bake.
In 2026, the event featured more than 150 businesses and organizations and drew over 3,500 attendees. Visitors loved the welcoming atmosphere and the chance to gather helpful information, support local nonprofits, and enjoy a unique shopping experience.
FRIDAY NIGHT SIP & SHOP
Friday evening opens with a Sip & Shop event and like the rest of the weekend, it is a ton of fun! The ticket cost is $20 and includes a drink ticket (alcoholic or non-alcoholic “mocktail” options available), the widest selection of shopping, great Friday night-only door prizes, and a weekend pass to A Woman’s Affair (a $10 value). Hors d’oeuvres and additional drinks are available for purchase. There are bars located around the arena so you can sip as you shop. It’s a perfect girls’ night out and a great place to run into old friends and make new ones! Minors are welcome at the Sip & Shop with a parent or legal guardian and ages 13 and over must purchase a ticket. Tickets will be available for purchase at the door, no need to purchase in advance.
