Entertaining During the Olympic Winter Games Wasn't a First for Feist

Olympic StoriesAmong the various musicians slated to headline one of the Whistler Victory Ceremony performances was Canadian singer / songwriter Feist. Feist’s participation in the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary, as one of the children who danced in the Opening Ceremonies, made her a veteran of the Canadian Olympic stage. Now she is a member of the line-up of top North American acts whose performances were part of the tribute to medal-winning Olympians. The headliners performed for one night each during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games Whistler Victory Ceremonies. These ticketed nightly ceremonies took place from February 13 to February 27, 2010 at Whistler Medals Plaza.
