Last year, I stumbled across arguably one of the best contests on the Internet.

This contest literally allows you to watch brown bears eating fish in a river in Alaska and then turn around and vote on your favorite!

I'm not even making this up; It is a 100% legit contest.

You can check out my original article here from when I first encountered the event.👇

Alright, let's get into the details of what Fat Bear Week is all about.

Fat Bear Week 2024

Fat Bear Week 2024 kicks off on October 2nd and runs through October 8th.

During this time, you'll be able to watch brown bears at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska.

The bears hang out in this area to eat a truckload of fish and fatten up for winter hibernation.

You can watch the bears live from 8a to 5 Mountain time.

After spending a few hours watching these magnificent animals fish their way to victory, you get to vote for your favorite!

Trust me, you won't go into this planning to spend hours watching these bears, but I can almost promise you that you will.
