It’s not often that an event in Southeast Alaska can say it will go ahead regardless of the weather, but that’s the plan for the second annual Milk Run Music Festival in Wrangell this weekend.

Thanks to two very large tents.

“Those tents make it rain or shine,” festival organizer Olivia Strano said of the events planned for Friday and Saturday, May 1 and 2.

The festival is using a 1,000-square-foot tent owned by the borough, which purchased it for about $15,000 and will rent or loan it out for community events. The Milk Run nonprofit added a second tent, measuring about 800 square feet, Strano said.

“It’s going to be two full days of free,” she said of the music performed by five groups — three from out of state and two from Wrangell.

The tents will be set up on Campbell Drive, near the Nolan Center. The borough will close the street from Thursday through midday Sunday, Strano said.

Under the tents, people will find five or six food trucks, vendors selling arts and handicrafts, beer and, of course, music.

Anchorage Brewing Co. will bring a selection of its beers to town.

The festival runs from 3 to 10:45 p.m. Friday at the tents, and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday.

Free music will start at 5:30 p.m. Friday, then return at 1:30 p.m. Saturday and continuing into the evening, with more music at the Marine Bar starting at 10:30 p.m. Friday and at Rayme’s starting at 11 p.m. Saturday.

The full schedule is at milkrunmusicfest.org.

In addition to a cornhole tournament at noon on Saturday, this year’s schedule includes something new — kids games from 3 to 6 p.m. on Friday.

While much of the fun will be under and around the tents, the Stikine Stories middle and high school videographers will show and talk about their short documentaries from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Friday and again from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday at the Nolan Center.

Several music workshops also will be held Saturday at the Nolan Center: High Country Hustle fiddle workshop, 12:30 to 1:15 p.m.; Conner Stephens songwriting workshop, 1:30 to 2 p.m.; Pierce Edens guitar tuning workshop, 4 to 4:45 p.m.; and a photography workshop, 3:30 to 4 p.m. All are free.

The two-day festival, estimated to cost about $36,000, is covered by donations, business sponsors and fundraising raffles.
