CELEBRATE IN BRITANNIA VILLAGE

Britannia Village is celebrating our first holiday season with a spectacular light display which turns the historic mining village into a storybook setting against the dramatic backdrop of the Coast mountains and Howe Sound.   The festive decorations include a giant illuminated tree and a selfie garden with photo frame and glowing maple leaf. The village’s buildings and trees are adorned with wreaths and garlands and wrapped in twinkling lights. Whether the plan is to grab a selfie on the way to Whistler or to enjoy a full holiday experience with a visit to the restaurants and shops, Britannia Village will be a must-visit during the festive season in Sea to Sky country.  

  Mike Crane is a British Columbia based professional photographer whose work is born through exploration and adventure in the Coast Mountains and beyond.

  On Saturday, August 23rd, under glorious sunny skies, Britannia Village was joined by friends from up and down the Sea to Sky corridor to celebrate its grand opening. After a welcome from representatives of the Squamish Nation and the unveiling of specially-commissioned carvings by Jim Charlie, Macdonald Communities President Robert J Macdonald cut the ribbon to declare the village open. With music, games, and family-friendly activities all afternoon, Britannia Village threw open its doors and welcomed hundreds of first time visitors to explore and enjoy this unique and special place.

The conditions were challenging this year, but Britannia Village would like to offer huge congratulations to the nearly 3.000 riders who completed the challenge of the 2025 RBC GranFondo Whistler.
