🍂 HOPETOBER 2026 🍂
This year felt a little extra special.
Two days of perfect, crisp fall weather. Leaves falling right on cue. Two incredible nights with Blackwater Railroad. Pumpkins, hayrides, pony rides, face painting, full bellies and big laughs.
But the best part?
Watching families create core memories together, year after year. Watching the kiddos who once ran around Creekbend in tiny boots come back a little taller each year. Seeing friendships grow, traditions take root, and our little corner of Hope become part of people’s stories.
Hopetober is the perfect illustration of what Creekbend is.
Yes, it’s the themed menus.
It’s the music.
It’s the face paint.
It’s all the ridiculous little details we love.
But really, it’s the joy we create together.
It’s the relationships we’ve built over the last 9 years. It’s the people who keep showing up.
Hopetober always marks the end of our outdoor season here in Hope. And as we slow down to rest a little bit this fall, we want to slow down to say… thank you.
Thank you for being part of the Creekbend story. Thank you for bringing your families, your friends, your kids, your parents, your neighbors, and yourselves, through our doors.
Living in Alaska year-round isn’t always easy. We know that. And maybe that’s part of why these moments mean so much to us.
Nine years in, we don’t take any of it for granted.
And now…
Get ready.
Next year is SEASON 10. 🎉
We’ve already been spending a ton of time dreaming, planning, scheming and cooking up what’s next.
We can’t wait to show you.
Until then — thank you. ❤️
See you in Season 10. 🍂🎶
