New Year’s Eve is just around the corner, and if you’re looking to welcome in 2023 with a bang, we have the perfect event for you.

Whistler Blackcomb, about two hours north of Vancouver, has announced the return of its popular Fire & Ice outdoor event starting on Saturday, December 31, at 8:30 pm.

North America’s largest ski resort is relaunching its free signature event after a two-year hiatus with exciting performances, a narrative focus on the mountains’ rich history, and a stunning pyrotechnics display.

“For decades, Fire & Ice has been electrifying audiences with its mix of music, fireworks, live entertainment and jaw-dropping big air performances,” said Steve Crowley, Whistler Blackcomb events manager, in a release. “After a two-year pause due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to be bringing the show back better than ever for family and friends to enjoy.”

Fire & Ice is presented by Whistler-Blackcomb, in partnership with the Resort Municipality of Whistler and Tourism Whistler. The live event features a thrilling mix of live music, fire and pyrotechnics.
