Don't miss the biggest night of the year in Sun Peaks!
Festivities kick off with the First Flight Big Air Invitational in the Rockstar Energy Terrain Park, followed by the Kids Glow Stick Parade on the village platter learning area. The Sundance ski run will come alive with an iridescent red glow as skiers and boarders descend with lit torches in hand for the famous Torchlight Parade. The grand finale is a spectacular Fireworks Show against our mountain backdrop.
The best spectator location for the Kids Glow Stick Parade, Torchlight Parade, and Fireworks Show is at the base of the Sundance Express chairlift, just outside of the Village Day Lodge. For the First Flight Big Air Invitational, you'll want to make the short five-minute walk up to the base of the advanced terrain park.
