On June 22, 2024, the Midnight Sun Festival had more than 30,000 people attending, for 12 hours as Alaska’s largest single day event with food, shopping and musical performances according to the Downtown Association of Fairbanks.
The musical performances included Cold Steel Drums, Sparo and the Fairbanks Community Jazz Band.
The baseball team Alaska Goldpanners hosted the annual Midnight Sun Game competing with the Seattle Studs. It was played entirely without artificial light, a tradition going back to 1906. Fairbanks experiences 24 hours of daylight between mid-May to mid-July with the summer solstice being the longest day of the year.
The festival had many stations and activities from local vendors. Photo by Vadim Bledsoe.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Blah Blah
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
