The resort’s eagerly anticipated Silver Star Beer & Cider Fest returns in September, promising a lively celebration in the picturesque mountain village. Attendees will be able to sample some of B.
C.’s finest brews, paired with delicious local food, live music, games and a festive atmosphere at the Polson Market pop-up. However, before that happens you will have a chance to hear the dulcet tones of Mariya Stokes on the Nokian Community Stage as part of the Silver Star Saturday Music Series .
In other words, there is a lot happening at SilverStar in the next few weeks that you do not want to miss. Both make for great end-of-summer events at the resort, which is just 20 minutes from Vernon. More than 20 breweries and cideries from across the province have signed up as vendors for Silver Star Beer & Cider Fest, including Fernie Brewing Co.
, Left Field Cider Co., Rustic Reel Brewing Company, Vancouver Island Brewing and Shuswap Cider Co. You are essentially guaranteed to fall in love with a beverage or two or seven.

All you have to do is book two nights at one of SilverStar’s range of accommodation options, and you will receive two free tickets to the beer and cider fest. If you can’t stay at the resort, round-trip shuttle service from Vernon is just $22, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Silver Star Beer & Cider Fest will take place on Saturday, Sept.
7, and the event’s official hours are 1-6 p.m. Festival tickets are available for $49 plus fees, granting access to all breweries and cideries, and also includes a Silver Star Beer & Cider Fest sampling mug and four beer tokens.
That is the safest way to gain access to the can’t-miss event of the fall. One week before the beer and cider fest is the latest Silver Star Saturday Music Series concert, on Saturday, Aug. 31.
Stokes will finish off the afternoon of beautiful music that will also feature Jared Jackel and Nico Boestan before her. The three-hour concert begins at 2 p.m.
Saband, Tidal Baby, Christopher Atkins, Sofia Miller, Covenant Lion and Steven Marriott will perform during Silver Star Beer & Cider Fest on Sept. 7, and the final weekend of Silver Star Saturday Music Series will take place on Sept. 14, featuring David Ivan Neil and Foxtooth.
Even when there are no official events happening at the base of the resort, there is still so much fun to be at the base of the resort before the snow flies. Head up to SilverStar and spend the weekend, soaking up the late summer or early fall sunshine with special last-minute and late-season deals on accommodation. Take in the sweeping views of the Monashee Mountains while out on a hike.
Ride the Summit Express Gondola, which is wheelchair and dog friendly, just see the view. Or bring up your mountain bike and hit the trails for some awesome riding in one of Canada’s largest cycling parks. More information about everything Silver Star has to offer can be found on its website here .
