Sat Jun 24 “Soul”stice Stillness

9:00 AM 7th Ray Studio “Solstice” the time the sun seems to just hang in the sky. A time to pause and reflect, to look at and contemplate core beliefs and to change what no longer serves our souls. https://shorturl.at/coFMR

Let’s celebrate fathers (and exceptional grandfathers, uncles, older brothers and other father figures in our lives)— not just for one day, this year, but all summer long, Here are a few ideas to get you started:

For the music, art or culture lovers

The Kluane Mountain Bluegrass Festival is over, and the Atlin Arts & Music Festival has been cancelled this year, but there are still some great musical happenings coming up in the territory.

Tickets are still available to see Broken Social Scene at the Yukon Arts Centre on July 14 at 6 and 9 p.m.

Dawson City Music Festival is taking place this year from July 21 to 23, and the Keno City Music Festival is running from August 4 to 6 (and is free!). Why not make plans to go to a festival together?

A bit closer to Whitehorse, the Paradise Music Festival, for electronic music fans, is going to be happening August 4 to 6 (weekend or Saturday passes are available online at paradisemusicfestival. ca).

The Adäka Cultural Festival (June 29 to July 5) also has a great lineup of concerts, performances and workshops, every year. Check out their website, adakafestival. ca, for registration details and information on this year’s events.

For the more low-key dads, you could pick up a gift card at Road Dogs Music Supply and let him treat himself to some vinyl or some new gear of his choice.

For the athletic types or adventurers

For the avid runner in your life, stop by Mac’s Fireweed Books and pick up a copy of Brendan Leonard’s book I Hate Running and You Can Too: How to Get Started, Keep Going, and Make Sense of an Irrational Passion. It might inspire him to sign up for the Klondike Road Relay (or at least make him laugh).
