The Midnight Sun Fly In was a biennial event hosted by the Midnight Sun Fly In Association on the shores of Great Slave Lake at the city of Yellowknife in Canada’s Northwest Territories. The event began in 1983 as a floatplane fly-in and grew over the years to attract both float and wheel planes from across North America. Activities typically included a fish fry and steak BBQ, both with live entertainment, public lunchtime smokie BBQ's, pancake breakfast, and bush pilot memorial.
The sun set on the Midnight Sun Fly In after its 2023 event but theNorthwest Territories Flying Association ("NWTFA") is planning to host its own fly-in in July 2025. This new event will focus on visiting pilots and their passengers and offer the opportunity to explore the Yellowknife region and experience the hospitality of the local aviation community.
Please visit the NWTFA website for more information on flying in the Northwest Territories. Fly-in details will be posted as the plans are finalized.
