We invite you to celebrate Fat Bear Week this week with children’s books all about bears.

Each fall the event showcases Katmai’s bears as they pack on pounds. A single-elimination tournament invites the public to vote for the bear that best exemplifies success in getting fat for survive the winter.
What started in 2014 as a one-day event has grown into a global phenomenon, highlighting the resilience of brown bears, the importance of healthy salmon runs, and the vibrant ecosystems they sustain.
