There’s tons of great reasons to visit Yellowknife this time of year, like the midnight sun, golden lakes, and 40-pound trout. But our best July feature is our festivals. The most famous is Folk on the Rocks – a weekend-long musical extravaganza on the shores of Long Lake, drawing celebrated acts from throughout the North and across Canada. Also, don’t miss the Midnight Sun Floatplane Fly-In, when scores of bush pilots fly here in vintage planes for a celebration of the North’s aviation heritage
