Press & Media Kit
Alaska's events calendar.
Built by one person.
Last Frontier Events is a continuously-updated calendar covering all six Alaska regions. We aggregate listings from Ticketmaster, Eventbrite, Alaska.org, regional Chambers, and direct venue submissions — and we publish editorial guides and posts about the state's events scene.

What Last Frontier Events Is
Three products, one Alaska focus
The Calendar
Free, public event listings across Southcentral, Interior, Southeast, Southwest, Western Alaska, and the Arctic & North. Filterable by category, region, day, and price.
Low-fee Ticketing
In-house ticketing at 2% + $0.99 per ticket — less than half of Eventbrite's 3.7% + $1.79. QR-code passes, Stripe Connect payouts directly to organizers.
Native iOS App
On TestFlight today, App Store next. Aurora-themed UI with offline-friendly browsing, save-for-later, and native ticket purchase + QR display.

Founder
John Thomas
Originally from Alaska, now building from Honolulu. Last Frontier Events is one piece of a broader operator-tools-for-small-places project that also includes Aloha Calendar (Hawaii), Binnacle (maritime ops), and Aina Atlas (land records). Solo build — every page, scraper, scheduler, and Stripe integration is hand-built rather than glued from low-code tools.
