Adäka Yukon First Nations Cultural Festival

The Adaka Cultural Festival began in July 2011. It is now one of the most celebrated summer events in The Yukon. It showcases how the First Nations people of Yukon express their creativity in diverse and distinctive ways.

In the Southern Tutchone language Adäka means “coming into the light”. “shining a light on the creative spirit of Yukon First Nations people, helping to preserve and revitalize our arts and culture, and inspiring artists and young people to be proud of their heritage and communities” is what the festival intends to do. No doubt, the Adaka Cultural Festival is inspiring. It is a great example of Yukon First Nations people’s creative spirit.

Every summer, the Yukon First Nations Culture and Tourism Association hosts the occasion. The Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre adds to the atmosphere of the event. It is built in a traditional style and has high ceilings, great acoustics, and stunning views. These views include the Yukon River, high clay cliffs, and nearby mountains.
