Return of the Sun (Mid-January), Igloolik
Inuit symbolism and ritual. Ttraditional games and a fashion show of traditional dress. The astronomical events that mark this season are only seen in the total darkness at this latitude. Beginning with the lunar cycle that never dips below the horizon in January, and continuing with the "flash" which signals the return of the sun, the power of myth and ritual is at its zenith. |

Toonik Tyme is Iqaluit's annual spring festival which has been a community tradition since 1965.

A jam-packed, week-long schedule includes traditional Inuit activities such as igloo building, dog team races, Inuit games, and a seal skinning contest. Other activities you won't want to miss are the snowmobile races, Iqaluit Fear Factor, the craft fair, scavenger hunts and much more.
