Northern Nights 2020

Kluane's Annual Dark Sky Festival

September 18 and 19

Location: Mät’àtäna Män (Kathleen Lake) Campground and Day Use Area

Yukon’s only Dark Sky Festival takes place in late September at Mät’àtäna Män (Kathleen Lake), in Kluane National Park and Reserve. This is the fifth annual Northern Nights event created to celebrate the dark northern sky. As the midnight sun fades away, it becomes the perfect time to gaze up and marvel at the infinite night sky. Join Parks Canada and the Yukon Astronomical Society this September as we welcome the return of Northern Nights.

Festival goers can attend a variety of events including art and photography workshops, night sky walks and stories, lakeside music, and craft and activities for kids

Camping is available nearby at Kathleen Lake Campground.
