The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council (the Council), incorporated in 1973, is the official arts and humanities agency in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska (CBJ). The Council operates the Juneau Arts and Culture Center (JACC) and Centennial Hall facilities under agreements with CBJ to foster a vibrant arts and cultural environment and enhance the local economy.

Our mission is to cultivate vibrant arts and cultural opportunities in our community and foster a strong, prosperous, and inclusive environment where creativity and innovation thrive.

Due to temporary staffing constraints, we are putting Áak'w Rock 2025 on hold. 

The planning team at the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council is committed to supporting this amazing festival in partnership with The Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, and uplifting Indigenous voices and artistry through music and performance. 

Our two organizations have already agreed to look forward to the future, and refocus our efforts to the 2027 date to  build the best possible festival. 

To keep up with Áak’w Rock artists, we encourage you to look at our previous lineups and follow the artists on social media and beyond. Please bookmark our website www.aakwrockfest.com, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We are excited to see you in 2027!

The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council supports the Capital Civic Center - a state-of-the-art facility that will be built to provide shared event, performance, education and gallery space for Juneau’s arts and cultural community.
