Welcome to Wasilla,

Gateway to the Mat-Su Valley and the best of Alaska!

Alaskan residents knew long before Sarah Palin introduced our little city to the world, that Wasilla, in the beautiful Matanuska-Susitna Valley of South-central Alaska, is one of the 'not to be missed' places for visiting friends and family.

For help planning your Alaskan adventure of a life-time, be sure to check our local Events Calendar, and submit an Information Request to receive special offers from Greater Wasilla Chamber of Commerce, Convention & Visitor Bureau members!

Located just 65 short highway miles outside of Anchorage, the Mat-Su Valley is known for its abundant lakes, providing a variety of outdoor activities, including fishing, camping, boating, and giant vegetable viewing - fun for the entire family.
