Tremblant International Blues Festival for Music Lovers
And really, who doesn’t love music? The Tremblant International Blues Festival features artists playing the blues and related genres, including rock, R&B, soul, folk, funk, and more.
There are more than 100 shows at this sensational outdoor festival and most of them are completely free to attend. The Tremblant Blues Festival happens every July. The dates and artists change each year, so you’ll have to check the official website for the details.
Catch live music throughout the day on a number of outdoor stages, restaurants or bars, or seemingly random places throughout Tremblant’s pedestrian village. You never know when musicians might turn up to play a few tunes.
Internationally acclaimed artists from all over the world perform at the Tremblant Blues Festival. When we visited, we managed to catch a performance by legendary guitarist, Coco Montoya. Justin and I were introduced to artists, like Bo Reissette & The Lazy Bones Blues Band, that we otherwise might not have discovered on our own.
Experience Tremblant Resort While You’re There
As part of the experience, soak up the breathtaking scenery surrounding this mountain village. There are 11 hiking trails around the Laurentian mountains here. What’s an even easier way to get to the top of the mountain? Take the gondola that transports passengers straight to the top!
Another unique way to explore the great outdoors is by taking a tour with Ziptrek Ecotours. Soar above the treetops across several thrilling ziplines. Trust me, these ziplines are fast – probably the fastest ones I’ve ever experienced!
To discover Mont Tremblant from an even higher vantage point, take a helicopter tour of the property and beyond with HeliTremblant. Admire an aerial view of the village as you fly through the clouds.
There’s even a nearby beach at Tremblant where you can lounge in the sunshine. Go swimming, build a sandcastle, play beach volleyball, or participate in a number of water sports.
It’s a pretty unique experience to alternate listening to live music with zipping across treetops or spending a few hours at the beach. These are just some of our recommended activities and attractions in addition to immersing yourself in all the live music.
Enjoy the Pedestrian Village at the Tremblant Blues Festival
Visiting Tremblant’s picturesque pedestrian village is a vacation in itself. It’s your home base where most of the action happens. Transport yourself from one side of the village to the other on the Cabriolet gondola, with sweeping views of your surroundings.
Feel right at home at one of the hotel accommodations, get some retail therapy at exclusive boutiques, dine at more than 35 gourmet restaurants, and participate in numerous activities. Wander around the European-style cobblestone streets and people watch from a patio.
There are so many fabulous restaurants with many varieties of cuisine for all tastes. The restaurants at the pedestrian village even have a ton of vegan and vegetarian options.
