What is the Cordova Iceworm Festival?
Established in 1961, the Cordova Iceworm Festival was initially organized to combat the winter blues. But the two to three-day party created by some Cordovans grew year by year, to a week-long festival that has attracted visitors from all over the world.

The Iceworm Board, and the Cordova Chamber of Commerce as well as the local businesses and residents, have warmly welcomed and treated its guests to an interesting list of events that are free, fun and family-friendly.
The highlights of this annual festival include a bazaar, a pageant crowning Miss Iceworm, honoring the Cordova Citizen of the Year, the Iceworm Parade and a fireworks extravaganza.
Did You Know
One of the fascinating games held by the committee is the ice worm tail hunt. These ice-dwelling creatures are usually found in Southeast and South Central Alaska. For this game, joiners search for the tail of the 100-centimeter iceworm, which it had shed off before winter hibernation. And the prize, is a cool $100 bucks!
