Whistler Presents: New Year’s Eve Celebration

For celebration of the family-friendly sort, take in the evening’s roster of festivities throughout Whistler Village. You could keep it cozy, and head to one of two indoor parties (one of which includes a Youth Dance), a New Year's Eve kid’s countdown or opt instead to take it outside for skating at Whistler Olympic Plaza, views of the Fire and Ice show and a Village Square dance celebration that’s topped off with a dazzling fireworks display at midnight.

  • Tickets are valid for 6 hours of endless entertainment. Music, arts, crafts, entertainment, food, ice skating, dancing, Fire and Ice Show, fireworks and more!
  • Venues include Whistler Conference Centre, Millennium Place, Whistler Olympic Plaza and Village Square.
