One of Nome’s favorite summertime events returned mid June with Mizuktata, originally called Lemonade Day. Each year, colorfully decorated tables and excited kids line the streets of Nome to sell homemade treats.
From desserts like local favorite blueberry delight – a sweet treat made with whipped cream, graham crackers, and handpicked berries – there’s polish dogs, cold brew coffee, and of course, lemonade.
Krystal Hensley who organized the event said Mizuktata isn’t just about the tasty food and sweet drinks – it’s about creating opportunities for the kids.
“I know a lot of kids utilize this day to fundraise for their summer sports or sports throughout the season,” Hensley said. “Feel like they’re always fundraising, so this is a great opportunity for them to do that, and the community is a great support.”
