Actor, author and humorist Nick Offerman will appear at the 2026 Alaska State Fair, the fair announced Tuesday.
Offerman is the final act to be announced as part of the 2026 ConocoPhillips Alaska Concert Series at the Borealis Theatre.
Offerman’s stage act is described as a combination of “storytelling, musical comedy and woodworking wisdom.”
He is scheduled to appear Sunday, Sept. 6 at 6 p.m. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. Alaska time. Fair member and artist presale tickets are on sale now. Details on ticketing options can be found at alaskastatefair.org.
Offerman is perhaps best known for his role as Ron Swanson on “Parks and Recreation,” but has dozens of other television and film credits. He won a Primetime Emmy Award in 2024 for playing Bill in “The Last of Us” and can currently be seen in the series “Margo’s Got Money Troubles,” which was released in April.
Offerman is an avid woodworker who has also authored six New York Times best-selling books, including “Little Woodchucks: Offerman Woodshop’s Guide to Tools and Tomfoolery,” which was published last year.
Offerman is joined by 13 more acts in the fair lineup, including Ziggy Marley, The Beach Boys, Lyle Lovett, Cake, AJR, Twisted Sister, deadmau5, Modest Mouse, BigXThaPlug, Megadeth and Amy Grant.
