Be a part of the biggest celebration
in Whistler's history.
A wave of red mittens hits Whistler! On February 5, the community waved their red mittens, cheered on the torchbearers and celebrated the arrival of the Olympic torch on Day 99 with a cauldron lighting, face-painting, the 2010 mascots, singing and drumming with the Squamish First Nation and a performance by Whistler Children's Choir and the Whistler Singers. Juno award winner Barney Bentall and his Grand Cariboo Opry jammed with local musicians and Whistler's own Ali Milner closed the festivities. The torch celebration officially kicked off the arrival of the Games and with the Opening Ceremonies just days away, the countdown is on. Watch the video.
