Ruts for Dinner is back!After a sold-out event last year, one of AWCC’s wildest nights is returning Saturday, October 3.
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the rut season at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Fall is in the air, antlers are polished, bugling fills the valley, and AWCC’s resident bachelors are busy strutting, posturing, and showing off.
Enjoy an evening of incredible food and drinks, special wildlife experiences, live and silent auctions, and a front-row seat to all the swagger of rut season—all while supporting the animals who call AWCC home.
Your ticket includes dinner, drinks, wildlife experiences, auctions, and round-trip transportation from midtown Anchorage.
New this year: Upgrade your night with The Velvet Antler VIP Experience.
The evening begins aboard a luxury motorcoach from Anchorage with champagne, hors d’oeuvres, live acoustic music, an AWCC naturalist, and a few special surprises along the way. With just 18 VIP seats available, this experience won’t last long.
