But you don’t have to get outdoors to enjoy what this area has to offer; Squamish is also home to a vibrant arts community which can be seen through the many festivals held throughout the year, the countless plays and performances, and the local Farmer’s Market. Squamish is a growing community that is home to a diverse population and a wide range of activities to keep you busy year round.
