The webcast will be hosted this year by Erica Bigland. Tell your friends and family from afar to tune in at 8:30 PM PST. We'll be LIVE! Say hi to your friends and let us know if there are any blues you'd like us to burn for you. They can come by the webcam and say hi as well.
Burning Away the Winter Blues is a community event staged by Yukon Educational Theatre to mark the Spring Equinox. This annual ritual was conceived as a way to help Yukoners celebrate the end of the winter and renew their spirits in time for spring. Over the past ten years, it has become a tradition for many Yukoners. With the live webcast of the coming year’s event, even more people can take part.
