A key feature of the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival, taking place in beautiful Riverside Park—the riverfront gathering place that gives our festival its name. This space, nestled alongside the Yukon River, is the heart of Dawson’s summer community life and has hosted YRAF for years.

On Saturday of Arts Fest, our Artist Market features an array of local artists and artisans selling their goods at the Picnic Shelter on Riverside Park. YRAF aims to support local artists and makers by providing an opportunity for displaying and selling their art, craft and handmade goods during the busy weekend. Visitors are delighted to be able to purchase unique goods and original art, handmade by our talented local artists, thereby supporting and strengthening the economy of arts in Dawson City.
