There’s something deeply inspirational about Sitka. From stunning vistas to clean air, from the calm pace of life to small-town friendliness—Sitka feeds the soul and heightens the senses.

People have experienced Sitka’s restorative energy since the native Tlingít settled here 10,000 years ago. In Sitka, we honor our history and remember the past that shaped the town we love today. We celebrate our unique local culture, a blend of Tlingit history and traditions, as well as Russian and American influences from the last several hundred years. Visitors today still experience the cultural richness that inspired Sitka’s 19th century nickname, the “Paris of the Pacific.”

Come see what our resident and visiting artists, musicians, writers and performers are creating. Discover our history and experience how it lives

on today, or find your own inspiration in our

inviting and energizing culture.
