Nalukataq Festival — Barrow, Alaska
The Nalukataq festival in Barrow, Alaska , is held every June just after the spring whaling hunt is finished. The success of the whaling season determines the length of the festival, which can range anywhere from a day to longer than a week. The most prominent activity that takes place during this festival is the blanket toss, which is when locals use sealskin tarp to literally throw people into the air.
