Anchorage’s annual FOCC


It’s almost time for Anchorage’s annual FOCC . . . (Festival of Car Crashes)

The festival is traditionally held the first day that there is more than a dusting of snow. It's played much like Pamplona's ‘Running of the Bulls’ except everyone is in their car or rig’s and the object are to avoid all the other cars.

This is no easy feat given treacherous road conditions and "Auto Alzheimer's" . . . the yearly loss of memory of how to drive in winter that afflicts most drivers in this town.

The weak and cowardly stay home those first few snowfalls as the truly macho strut their stuff in the legendary places of traffic mayhem, like the intersection of Tudor and Lake Otis or the S-curves of the Glen Highway by Fort Richardson.  The annual festival is a boon to both body shops and hotels as tourists flood the town from around the world, hoping to see the ‘Northern Lights’ with many getting caught up in the action in their rental cars.  

That's the spirit, everyone's welcome!  You must be 16 or older and hold a valid diver's license to participate . . . but anyone can watch.

Bumper cars for adults . . . enjoy everyone when that time comes as we are overdue.
