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

Among 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.

Whistler’s awe-inspiring landscape and towering peaks naturally attract both artists and athletes as a powerful source of inspiration and as a perfect setting for pursing their passions. Whistler has a long-standing tradition of honoring artistic, musical, literary and culinary creativity with fabulous events in every season. As Host Mountain Resort for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, Whistler had a unique opportunity to celebrate athletes, arts and culture from both the local community and from around the world.  For 17 days and nights during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, and for 10 days and nights during the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games; Whistler Live! animated various sites throughout Whistler Village with music, live art, street performers and a diverse line-up of free entertainment.  

The lively momentum in Whistler will continue with the TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival, scheduled to take place from April 16, 2010 to April 25, 2010.  This highly-anticipated annual event takes place over 10 action-packed days and nights during which a vibrant fusion of live music, arts and sports align with what is typically some of the best spring skiing and riding in the world.
