Across Alaska, villages, towns and cities held summer solstice gatherings on Saturday. In Fairbanks, it was the 434rd annual Midnight Sun Festival, and although skies were smoky, the sun shown until late at night and downtown was filled with revelers. We have photos from photographer Robert Lype for the enjoyment of those who were partying (or fishing, flying, or working) elsewhere:

80° all night. 80° for the past 10 days. Sun tans galore!
