The Klondike Visitors Association is hosting the annual Thaw di Gras Spring Carnival in Dawson City, Yukon, from March 20 to March 22, 2026. This community event marks the end of the winter season with a variety of outdoor activities and social gatherings for local families.
Residents can participate in several outdoor activities inspired by the history of the Gold Rush, including log sawing, axe throwing, and chainsaw tosses. These unique games are held alongside family events like wiener roasts to celebrate local culture and keep people active.
The Thaw di Gras Spring Carnival is a long-standing tradition that features events across the city throughout the weekend. The City of Dawson Parks & Recreation department is assisting with the festival to ensure recreation facilities and venues are ready for participants.
Organizers say the goal of the carnival is to promote community health and social connection as the town moves into the spring season. The weekend serves as a major social highlight for residents following the cold winter months.
