Summertime was made for outdoor concerts, and Whistler is offering a stunning backdrop for both artists and music lovers.
The Whistler Summer Concert Series returns to Whistler Olympic Plaza from July to September, with 13 nights of free live music, 10 outdoor movie screenings, and more.
Headlining acts include Juno winners Walk off the Earth, The Sheepdogs, and Colin James. There will also be a new Sunday Sessions spotlighting great touring performers and local talents.
“It wouldn’t be summer without the Whistler Summer Concert Series, and this year’s line-up of headliners is one of the most impressive yet,” said Whistler Mayor Jack Crompton in a release. “On top of that, the addition of the Sunday Sessions will give our talented local musicians the chance to perform their original sets on the Whistler Olympic Plaza stage.
“Year over year, this series has presented a diverse array of headliners from around the world, and we are thrilled to see the opportunity for our locals to get up there, too.”
