There’s tons of great reasons to visit the Northwest Territories this time of year, like the midnight sun, golden lakes, and 40-pound trout. But our best summer feature is our festivals. Check out famous Folk on the Rocks, a weekend-long musical extravaganza on the shores of Yellowknife’s Long Lake. Revel in Indigenous performances, paintings, sculptures and crafts at the Great Northern Arts Festival in Inuvik. Or tee off in the world’s northernmost golf tourney, the Billy Joss Open in exotic Ulukhaktok.
