Music in the Mountains

Join us for the second year of Music in the Mountains, an unforgettable live music experience set high in the alpine.

Enjoy incredible performances surrounded by panoramic mountain views, fresh alpine air, and the unmistakable Big White summer vibe. This isn’t your typical concert — getting there is part of the adventure.

Your journey begins with a scenic ride on the Bullet Express Chairlift. From the top of the lift, you can settle in and enjoy the music right away, or take a short walk along Peak Trail to discover stunning viewpoints where you can relax and take in the sounds of summer in the mountains.

Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, vibrant wildflowers, and the peaceful energy of the alpine, Music in the Mountains offers a truly unique blend of live music and natural beauty.

Whether you're here for the music, the views, or the adventure of getting there, this is a mountain experience you won’t want to miss.

What to Bring

This is a true alpine experience, so please come prepared!

  • A camp chair or blanket to sit on

  • Water and snacks (there are no amenities on-site)

  • Weather-appropriate clothing – it can be cooler at elevation

  • Sunscreen and a hat – there’s limited shade up top

  • Good walking shoes – the 1.5km hike is gentle but uneven and steep in places

Please note: This is a pack-in, pack-out event. Let’s work together to keep the alpine pristine.
