The Dawson City Music Festival kicks off with a free concert late on Friday afternoon, and it's non-stop rock, folk, country and other music from there on in. It may be a long way to go, but plenty of people are prepared to make the journey, drawn by the festival's vibrant atmosphere and sheer uniqueness. Each year, some of the best names in Canadian music perform before an appreciative and spirited audience. Many up-and-coming acts have shared stages with more established musicians over the years, in one of the most anticipated cultural events in the Yukon. By day there are concerts and workshops at venues throughout the community, together with a range of family and children's entertainment, games, and crafts. After dark, the main tent hosts the biggest dance party in the far north, while the historic Palace Grand Theatre stages headline concerts.
