Thank you to the Community of Squamish for keeping the tradition alive and once again voting the Squamish Days Loggers Sports Festival as the Best Community Festival/Event in Squamish!

2023 saw the celebration of a 66-year legacy that continues to grow thanks to the strength and generosity of the Squamish Community, our dedicated athletes, and everyone who plays a part as a volunteer, sponsor, spectator, or supporter. This year created countless more memories and friends made along the way through months of preparation and brainstorming, right up to the four-day whirlwind of fun and excitement of the festival weekend.

Squamish Days is proud to be a non-profit association run entirely by volunteers with 100% of the festival profits going back to local non-profits. Thanks to the success of this year’s festival, Squamish Days will be donating close to $48,000 to local non-profit community groups who help run the festival each year.
