Sea to Sky Gondola
The Squamish Valley Music Festival is excited to announce their partnership with the new Sea to Sky Gondola to provide Festival guests with the opportunity to ride the gondola 880m above beautiful Squamish. Throughout the Festival weekend, pop-up bands will be performing at the Summit Lodge at the top of the gondola. This 9,000 square foot viewing deck offers fresh local cuisine and beverages on a patio that overlooks Howe Sound on one side and Sky Pilot Mountain on the other. The views are breathtaking and it has been noted that the Squamish Lodge deck could be one of the best patios in all of Canada.

A complimentary shuttle will pick up and drop off guests at the Squamish Adventure Centre.
