Gold Rush Days 2024 Valdez. To an america still reeling from an economic depression and unemployment, the lure of gold was irresistible. This week, we're stepping back in time and wearing our heritage valdez town marshal badges (and fake stashes for this photo) to celebrate all things gold rush.
Last chance to register for the 2024 gold rush days parade on sunday at 1pm!! Citizens from all walks of life quit their jobs, with 1,500 people departing for the gold fields in the first 10 days of the klondike gold rush in the summer of 1897.
