Dawson City probably has more things for visitors to see and do than any town in the Yukon or Alaska. One of the more interesting activities is a quiet stroll up and down the old wooden walkways on a cool, misty morning. For it is then that the Dawson spirit seems most lively.

Dawson City, Yukon is host to a decade of centennials and anniversaries. A potpourri of special events take place during the annual Discovery Days Festival that celebrates the Discovery of Gold in 1896. Visit the Commissioner's Residence and the Boyhood Home of Pierre Berton. The Yukon Gold Panning Championships are hosted on July 1 stand Goldpanners attend from around the world and compete in various panning categories.
