🍻 Celebrate Local

Whistler is home to two renowned breweries: Coast Mountain Brewing and Whistler Brewing Co..
We especially recommend Whistler Brewing’s Grapefruit Ale, a refreshing malty blonde ale with a zesty twist—perfect for sipping on a crisp September day.


📍 Whistler Olympic Plaza

Set in the heart of Whistler Village, this open-air venue is the perfect backdrop for the festival—an amphitheatre surrounded by green space and world-class mountain views.
