From bikes to wines: Silver Star Mountain resorts kicks off its summer season
Destination Silver Star is kicking off the summer season this weekend.
From summer sliding to gondola rides and a gnome roam, there are lots of things to see and do for the entire family over the next few months.
To kick off the season, Destination Silver Star is hosting an inaugural community cultural celebration in the village on June 25.
Throughout the village, there will be an artisan market featuring up to 20 local vendors, culinary offerings, and the Slay the Dragon trail race. There will also be a territorial Indigenous welcome on the main stage, followed by cultural performances and a Ukrainian fundraiser, before a concert.
If you can’t make it up for opening weekend, there are going to be a number of events and festivals all summer long.

If wine isn’t your passion — head up in September for some craft beer and cider. Silver Star is partnering with those behind the long-running Squamish Beer Fest to bring a celebration of the finest craft beer tastings and extensive local cidery options to the mountain village. There will be a variety of food flavour features, live music, games, and lots of fun.
In addition to these events, there are others happening over the next few months.
