August is always a busy month in Whistler because of the many events, plus the Whistler presents concert series, Farmer’s markets, glacier riding, sightseeing, hiking, mountain biking and so much more.

CRANKWORX
But there is no time for taking it easy as one of the biggest and best festivals Whistler has to offer is just about to begin. It is quite the scene in Whistler as the mountain bike crowd descends in force. Crankworx is once again a full 10-day festival with some of the best mountain bike riders from around the world in town to compete. Crowds are wowed by the antics in the bike park and also at the base of the mountain. There is also live music as well as video competitions taking place at the Whistler Olympic Plaza.
WHISTLER LAKES ARE AMAZING
August is typically one of the hottest months of the summer with daily highs of 27°C (80°F) and with all the Crankworx dirt spreading around, it is nice to tuck away at one of the Whistler lakes. We have 5 of them and you can enjoy your time in many ways from playing cards, lawn games, cooking some tasty BBQ to just resting at one of the floating decks in the middle of the lake.
THE FREE OUTDOOR CONCERTS CONTINUE
The Outdoor Summer Concert Series runs all the way through September, with concerts on Thursday and Friday each week. We often get caught up in the outdoor-activity mode in this playground, and hardly take the time to sit and relax. But with these classical & chilled out beats, it is much easier to just sit on a picnic blanket and listen to some quality sounds right at the Olympic rings!

SLOWLY ROLLING INTO SEPTEMBER
As August edges into September, the annual 5 Peaks Trail Running Series hits the village at the end of August and the RBC Granfondo typically falls in early September. And guess what? The Whistler Beer Festival is typically in mid-September as well, making this another fun month to be in the Village!
