Yellowknife is Canada’s capital of cool.
And cool doesn’t begin to describe what you’ll encounter in our community, no matter when you visit.
Our community is a place where hosts eagerly share the essence of home and land, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in cultural richness, natural wonders, and sustainable adventures that honour the community and territory.
Skyscrapers springing from rocky outcrops at the edge of Great Slave Lake, with a community of houseboats floating in the backdrop. Kayaks, canoes and sailboats gliding across the sparkling waters of Back Bay. Prominent events like a comedy show in a giant snow castle with the shimmering aurora borealis above, and a music festival under the midnight sun. Wildlife scurrying around town. Stunning artwork sprinkled around town created by dedicated craftspeople and local community members. Friendly residents who offer kindness, friendship and Northern hospitality to everyone they meet.
