Whistler Pride Festival brings a week of high-alpine sports, community connection, daily après, and events to Whistler Village and Whistler Blackcomb from January 24 to January 30, 2027. Building on the momentum from the 2026 relaunch, you can count on a week of mountain adventures, nightlife, and social gatherings tailored to 2SLGBTQiA+ travellers and allies.
Daily Mountain Guiding and Social Lineup
The ever popular guided ski and snowboard groups run daily. Led by volunteer guides, these groups welcome skiiers at any skill level, whether you stick to green runs or head for advanced alpine terrain. You’ll ride together in the morning and meet for shared mountain lunches at the Roundhouse on Whistler or Glacier Creek on Blackcomb. These guided groups offer a friendly and direct way to navigate the resort and meet fellow riders throughout the week.
When your afternoon runs wrap up, you can head into the Village for official festival après sessions, happening daily starting 3:00 PM. As night falls, the lineup expands into drag performances, comedy shows, dance parties, women-focused gatherings, and community meetups.
