Klondike Days are an Edmonton tradition dating back to the Gold Rush when Edmonton as Fort Edmonton. It later became a huge affair with a week long carnival and a massive parade. Everyone would dress up in clothes from the Klondike era as you see below. This makes it four generations and over 60 years of Klondike Days for my family - amazing to think that I was swindled happily as a kid by the same games that my grandfather likely played.
