Whistler Pride Festival 2026
Whistler’s winter season gets even brighter with the return of the Whistler Pride Festival 2026, running January 25 to February 1, 2026. This week-long celebration of community and inclusivity brings together skiing, snowboarding, social events and nightlife in one of British Columbia’s most iconic mountain destinations.
Each morning festival-goers can join guided ski and snowboard groups on Whistler Blackcomb, from beginner slopes to expert runs, as a way to meet people and enjoy the breathtaking terrain together. Après-ski gatherings follow, offering relaxed social spaces with music, drinks and conversation.
A highlight of the week is the Rainbow Ski Out and Pride Parade, where participants descend the mountain in colourful style before the celebration moves into Whistler Village for more festivities. Evening programming spans themed parties, drag performances, trivia, country dance nights and high-energy dance events with DJs and performers from across Canada.
Whistler Pride Festival reshapes the classic winter ski week into something that celebrates diversity both on and off the slopes, inviting locals and visitors alike to connect, explore and have fun in an environment built around belonging and vibrant energy.
