This is a free, family-friendly outdoor event that includes award-winning mountain films, live performances, an artisan market, food trucks, a beer garden, fun activities and more!

Live Performances

Enjoy three engaging live performances at the Shipyards! We're excited to have North Shore Celtic Ensemble, Peter "Not So" White and Born to Bhangra on the stage throughout the afternoon and evening.

Beer Garden

Cool off with a refreshing beverage in the beer garden and grab some food while you sit back and enjoy mountain films and live performances. There will be beer, cider, cocktails and plenty of non-alcoholic options available. Children and dogs are welcome.

Climbing Wall

Try your hand at Climb Base5's outdoor climbing wall featuring three auto-belay units! Get in a few climbs while overlooking the ocean and activities around the Shipyards. No advanced registration needed but closed toe shoes are required.
