The Whistler Live! experience comes alive through a network of integrated and interactive sites stretching from Whistler Medals Plaza to the base of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. Welcoming and accessible, Whistler Live! is designed for wandering, exploring and discovering.
Whistler Medals Plaza is where the global community recognizes the world's best! Victory Ceremonies March 13 - 18 celebrate athleticism, dedication and spirit followed by spectacular music and dazzling performances. Here, Whistler hosts the Paralympic Closing Ceremony - the grand finale of the 2010 Winter Games - which will wrap Whistler in celebration on March 21.
Town Plaza celebrates Whistler's homegrown arts scene. Watch Whistler stories unfold as a colourful cast of characters share stories from a chairlift, interact with passers-by and improvise outdoor theatre skits. Street performers surprise and delight with random interaction and folly whenever you least expect it.
Village Common is your backstage pass to Whistler Live!, documenting the moments and plugging into everything Whistler Live!. In this open production studio housing the screens and cameras that connect the community on Village Stroll, our hosts interview athletes fresh from the slopes and the artists gracing the stages.
Village Square epitomizes the après action Whistler is famous for! As the heart of Whistler Live!, this venue pumps the stroll with the energy and passion of the Games. After showcasing the best in Olympic competition, national and international bands rock the stage until the sun goes down.
Mountain Square becomes a meeting place with "Spirit in Motion - Discover What Moves Us" brought to Whistler by the International Paralympic Committee. Experience real life examples and interactive exhibits demonstrating Paralympic sports, everyday life and modern solutions for people with disabilities. Feel the emotion and trace the evolution of the Paralympic Movement to 2010 Winter Games.
Fire & Ice Remix at Skiers Plaza closes each night with an on-mountain snow show of huge air, fire dancers and BIG DJ sound! This sensory overload paints the mountain, lights the skies, pumps the adrenaline and shakes the ground. Experience the Remix.
