Golden Days began as a way of collectively honoring Fairbanks’ past. It is then that we celebrate the discovery of gold here. Felix Pedro struck gold on July 22, 1902, in a creek 12 miles north of town.. The celebration of Golden Days is coordinated by the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce and always takes place in the July week that is closest to July 22.
