The Whistler Village Beer Festival is a week-long event, this year from the 9th to the 15th of September, that transforms Whistler into the place to be for Beer Enthusiasts. At The Aava, we see a diverse array of guests - from craft beer aficionados to curious newcomers - eager to explore the festival’s offerings. While the focus is undeniably on beer, the Whistler Village Beer Festival offers so much more. Attendees can enjoy seminars, food pairings, and live music, all set against the stunning backdrop of Whistler’s mountains.


Insider Tips for Festivalgoers

From our experience hosting guests during the Whistler Village Beer Festival, we’ve gathered some valuable insights to share:

  1. Plan Ahead: The festival’s main events will sell out, so we recommend booking tickets and accommodation early.
  2. Stay Hydrated: With so many tastings, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. Make sure to swap out the beer for water every once in a while.
  3. Explore the Village: While the beer is the star, Whistler Village offers plenty to explore. We suggest taking some time to enjoy the local shops, booking activities and take in the scenic views.
  4. Take It Easy: The festival is a marathon, not a sprint. We advise pacing yourself to fully enjoy the variety of beers on offer.

 

The highlight of the festival is the Main Event, happening on Saturday, September 14th. The main event features 40+ craft beverage manufacturers and over 80 varieties of craft beverages, including beer, cider, and seltzers to sample at the iconic Olympic Plaza. Complete with food trucks, live music, interactive activities and thousands of fellow festival lovers, this event is a must.
