About Celebration of Swans
Yukon's premiere bird festival, A Celebration of Swans, brings residents and visitors alike out to great swan viewing areas to welcome spring to the north, arriving on the wings of the Trumpeter Swans.
Over this 9-day period visitors flock to open water making the Celebration of Swans the largest birding event in Yukon. Approximately 10% of Yukoners make their way to Marsh Lake each year to see this spring spectacle. Keep an eye out for the Yukon Celebrates Spring flyer with a schedule of events in your mailbox in early April.
