In March 2007, the city announced a plan to attract more residents: the awarding of free land to interested applicants.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/16/alaska.land.ap/index.html |title=21st century homesteading: Free land in Alaska - CNN.com |website=[[CNN]] |accessdate=March 16, 2007 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070319102327/http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/16/alaska.land.ap/index.html |archivedate=March 19, 2007 }}</ref> This concept has been compared to that of the [[Homestead Act]].

The Anderson/Clear [[Lions Clubs International|Lions Club]], in conjunction with commercial sponsors and [[Two Rivers, Alaska|Two Rivers]]-based concert promoters Acoustic Adventures, hosted the annual Anderson Bluegrass Festival. Held on the last weekend of every July from Friday through Sunday at Riverside Park, the festival was the city's significant visitor attraction. The festival was discontinued in 2012. It was replaced with a similar, privately run family music festival held in the same location starting in 2015.
