14th Annual Flag Stop Theater & Arts Festival

Celebrate creativity in the mountains at the Flag Stop Theatre & Arts Festival 2025. This three-night Whistler arts festival showcases theatre, comedy, dance, and live music in two scenic settings. It’s a summer tradition that brings together artists, performers, and audiences for an unforgettable experience.

The festival begins on Wednesday, August 6, in Florence Petersen Park. This open-air venue sits just behind Whistler Public Library and the museum. The evening features DJ Vinyl Ritchie on the decks, Balkan Shmalkan’s 10-piece brass energy, and interactive dance breaks with ALGN Whistler. Live sets from The West Coast Front and Pemberton’s Dakota Pearl close out the night. Bring a blanket, find a patch of grass, and enjoy the atmosphere.

On Friday, August 8, the festival moves to The Point Artist Run Centre. Located on the shores of Alta Lake, The Point offers a lakeside stage and a relaxed setting. The night begins with the premiere of The Conversation, a new play by Bronwyn Preece. Comedy from Laugh Out LIVE keeps the energy high. Guests can enjoy dinner by the lake while listening to live music. The evening ends with a powerful indoor performance from Vancouver’s funk collective, The History of Gunpowder.

Saturday night wraps up the weekend with more live performances at The Point. Full lineup details will be available soon.

Flag Stop is more than a summer festival. It’s a gathering of creativity, connection, and community spirit. Whether you’re drawn to the music, theatre, or lakeside setting, this Whistler arts festival offers something special. Come for the shows. Stay for the vibe. Leave inspired.
