Dawson City — home of the music festival which happened July 20-23 — is a really picturesque town. Everything seems to have the Gold Rush, Klondike feeling you’d expect. There are Stern Wheeler boats shored on the river, and bars are called “Saloons.”
I hear the town council (or Parks Canada, not sure) is involved in keeping the town looking ‘authentic,’ by regulating architecture.
The town only has 800 residents in the winter, but thousands of people visit every summer and the shops come to life.
(Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to grab a banjo, some bacon, a sturdy donkey, a coffee pot, some beans and go panning for gold in the mountains.)
