Whistler Village Beer Festival
We are happy to announce that the WVBF is coming back
SEPTEMBER 16-20, 2026!
Main event: September 19th, 2026
Last years festival brought together over 50 breweries, serving up a variety of craft beverages alongside live music, food trucks, competitions and games. With sunny skies and the stunning Whistler mountains as the backdrop, it is truly a festival to remember. We are now counting down to WVBF 2026, and we’re officially calling for vendors to join us in bringing the next unforgettable chapter of this mountain-side celebration to life!
Have ideas for WVBF 2026? What beers, activities, or experiences would you love to see return or try for the first time? We’d love your input! Email us at [email protected]
