Highlights of this annual event include underground mine tours and mine rescue competitions between mine teams from all over the Northwest Territories. A display at the Raven Mad Daze site provides an opportunity to try your hand at drilling or panning for gold. Activities and games for children and adults alike are sponsored by community organizations. A variety of ethnic cooking booths provide both Northern and worldwide outdoor eating experiences. Teen activities are a big part of the evening, especially the dancing, the music and the shaving cream area.
Live entertainment includes bands and street clowns.
Some shop owners have special prices for the whole weekend too. It is a shopping must, and people race from store to store to catch the action.
