Wild Su Feast 2023!!

Susitna River Coalition’s Wild Su Feast is a joyous event that celebrates the wild foods of the Susitna River Watershed and the communities that depend on them. For this 7th annual event, we are holding a community potluck and cooking competition with foods that grew, flew, walked, or swam in the Susitna Watershed. Some of past delicious entries have included caribou frankfurters, blueberry bear, and Kahiltna birch syrup ice cream.

This community event celebrates the local and wild foods of the Susitna Watershed and the communities that rely on and enjoy them. After the hard work of growing, harvesting, and gathering food, nothing is more rewarding than sharing the bounty with our neighbors.
