Moose Dropping Festival

Moose Dropping Festival

The Talkeetna Moose Dropping Festival is a celebration that takes place over two days in July each year in Talkeetna, Alaska. The event is named after a lottery wherein participants bet on numbered, varnished pieces of moose turd that are dropped from a helicopter onto a target. Other events include a softball competition, a five-kilometre footrace, the Wilderness Woman and Mountain Mother contests, and a parade.
