Night of Comedy
Wednesday, January 29, 2020 | 7 PM
This entertaining night is not to be missed! Pam Ann*, Australian comedian/writer/producer/DJ Caroline Reid, returns to Whistler with her Mary Poppins themed show Pam Ann Returns. She has developed a cult-like status and continues to sell out tours globally. Pam’s barbed wit has seen her fly many a risky route and negotiate even the most politically incorrect flight path with her blisteringly funny take on the world of airlines and aircrew. *Due to a scheduling conflict, Nicole Byer is no longer headlining.
Splash Indoor Pool Party
Thursday, January 30, 2020 | 10 PM – 1:30 AM
Let's get soaking wet! Carolina Campos bring the Brazilian heat at the annual Whistler Pride festival Pool Party. Bring your own towel and swimsuit. Clothes check and lockers available on site. Catch the free shuttle from the Aava Whistler hotel.
Annual Pride Ski Parade
Friday, January 31, 2020 | 3:45 – 4:30 PM
Join the annual Pride Ski + March where skiers and riders start on Whistler's mid-station on the Olympic Run and swoosh down the slopes in a sea of colour. Rainbow flags are carried with pride and skiers and riders dress in colour outfits as they descend down to Whistler Village at Skiers' Plaza. The giant Pride Flag is transferred from skier to marchers as the crowd continues down the Village Stroll to the Olympic Rings at Whistler Olympic Plaza, paying homage to the start of the very first Pride House at the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. After the parade, join the celebrations at the Whistler Conference Centre for an afternoon après-ski T-dance.
CABN Cabaret: Lady Bunny, Pig in a Wig
Saturday, February 1, 2020 | 9 PM – 2 AM
Join the legendary queen and creator of Wigstock for an unforgettable night of corn-fed comedy, musical numbers and plenty of wallowing in the mud. With her glitzy outfits, sky-high wigs and false eyelashes, Bunny’s show features Broadway parodies, some brand new material and some so old that only the dead will recall it.
Snowball Closing Party
Saturday, February 1, 2020 | 10 PM – 4 AM
NYC-born, UK-based DJ / Producer Tom Stephan headlines Whistler Pride's main event for the first time, sharing the night with Chicago-house devotee, Karsten Sollors. The festival pulls out all the stops and transforms the Whistler Conference Centre into a mega nightclub like you would find at other world-renowned locations. Sensational sound and visuals with stunning go-gos all tricked out and wired to keep you dancing until the lights come on at 4 AM.
