The June 2022 Wellness Yellowknife Festival is a project worked on by the Yellowknife Racquet Club, spurred on by COVID-19 and the need for joy, and an event that will showcase what Yellowknife has to offer. Wellness has different meanings for many, and this festival will be brought to life in partnership with many community partners, instructors, and businesses.
The Yellowknife Wellness Festival is a combination of wellness events, inspiring workshops, scenic opportunities, and other feel-good activities.
