Having spent the past two weekends ushering visitors throughout Whistler, I can honestly say that there are few things more glorious than spending a leisurely sunny day in that mountain town. Sure the crowds can make it a challenge to find a decent parking spot, but once you’ve freed yourself from your vehicle and the warm cedar-tinged air hits your nostrils, all stress is washed away and the good times begin!
There is always something to see – from the bevvy of street artists and performers, to the muddy gravity-defying downhill bikers – and there ALWAYS seems to be an event or festival going on. And now – FREE OUTDOOR CONCERTS!!!
Yes. It’s TRUE!!! Gracing the stage at the still-glowing-from-Olympic-glory Whistler Olympic Plaza in the Marketplace, some of Canada’s finest musical acts will be performing for FREE this month!

- August 5 – Jason Mraz – starting at 7:30 pm
