The Still Dark Festival is being held for the second time in downtown Yellowknife from Feb. 5 to 8.
The event celebrates the beauty and creativity found in the long winter nights of the North. Attendees can see live music, performances, light installations and interactive art exhibits. Whether under the aurora or the glow of festival lights, everyone is invited to embrace the magic of the season.
“We were beyond excited at how people grabbed it and really seemed keen to take part in some kind of event this deep in the winter,” said Taylor Shephard, vice-president and artistic director of the festival.
Events will be held at six different locations around Yellowknife’s downtown area. Events are ticketed, with day and weekend passes available, but there will be a free, all-ages show at the Yellowknife Visitor Centre on Saturday, Feb. 7.
Tickets and other merchandise can be purchased from the Still Dark Festival’s website. A schedule of events, as well as a playlist of some of the artists performing, is also available online.
