This Week in Anchorage is a short round-up of events happening around town. It’s by no means an exhaustive list and we welcome additional events or activities in the comments!

Monday, March 28, 6-8pm – Boss Babes: Women in Business

Join YWCA AK and the Anchorage Museum for this panel of women business owners discussing lessons learned and how they’ve built thriving business. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and work in smaller groups with a panelist to get more individualized feedback. View more information and reserve a spot.

YWCA is hosting a variety of events all week, including a live workout, a self-defense class, and a pop-up shop.

All Week – Mann Leiser Memorial Greenhouse

While we’re currently stuck somewhere between winter and spring, visit this tropical greenhouse in East Anchorage for a much-needed dose of warmth and greenery. Free. View hours and location.

Friday, April 1 – First Friday

Galleries and stores all over Anchorage feature local artists, musicians, and host events to celebrate the first Friday of the month.
