Yukon Aurora Rendezvous | Sourdough Special
Tour Duration: 4 days | Tour Price: CAD 795.00/person 
| Tour Season: Feb 16 - Feb 26A quirky winter carnival with a true northern flavor, the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous celebrates the 1890s sourdoughs (veteran inhabitants of Canada’s Yukon Territory), the Yukon and the Klondike Gold Rush. In February Whitehorse buzzes with energy that brings Yukon’s heritage alive and heralds the coming of spring. Enjoy family-friendly and sporting events by day like the pancake breakfast, axe throwing, dogsledding, flour packing and chainsaw chucking, or taste sweets from the Sugar Shack, watch Can Can Dancers, and help elect the next Yukon Rendezvous Queen. At night, the raucous fun gets in full swing with Sourdough Sam competitions, crowning of the festival Queen and roving performances by the world-famous Snow Shoe Shufflers and Rendezvous Can Can dancers before you will join us on our Aurora viewing tour (3 successive evenings) at our custom built Aurora viewing location, far from the lights of the city, so you can experience the Aurora Borealis for yourself – and create your own ‘sourdough’ legends.
