SUMMERTIME STREET ENTERTAINMENT

For the little kids and the big kids at heart, the streets are alive with the sounds of comedy, colour and circus capers.

Places to watch out for are the Village Common, Town Plaza Gazebo, Village Square, Mountain Square, and the Marketplace.

This weekend Tourism Whistler will unleash the hilarious musical duo Two Good Men; the magical sounds of Miss Parfait and the juggling, jingling Hootin’ Harry. See mywhistler.com for a full schedule of appearances.
