You can vote in this year’s show! 

It’s time to weigh in! #FatBearWeek is a celebration of success and survival. It’s a way to celebrate the resilience, adaptability, and strength of Katmai’s brown bears. Bears are matched against each other in a tournament-style competition and online visitors can vote on which bear is ultimately crowned the Fat Bear Week 2024 Champion. Over the course of the week, learn more about the lives and histories of individual bears while also gaining a greater understanding of Katmai’s ecosystem
 
Get to know this year’s ‘Titans of tonnage’ at nps.gov and vote at www.fatbearweek.org. Voting starts at 8am AKDT
