What’s on in Thredbo opening weekend

Thredbo has a massive line-up of entertainment and excitement to welcome and celebrate the start of season 2019 – 8 – 10 June .

There’s an impressive line-up of music right across the weekend kicking off Saturday with an après Party at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel on Saturday, then we head into five hours of non-stop tunes in the outdoor Village Square thanks to Heineken. Headlining this opening is production duo Bag Raiders, with their new single “Lightning” racing up the charts and old favourite Shooting Stars just hitting triple platinum, the opening weekend crowd are in for one big gig. “Horizons” the long awaited album is due for release so the crowd can expect a sweet mix of old and new Bag Raiders.

Snow goers will love the region’s biggest fireworks display as it splashes colour across the alpine sky and the fire show will be one not to be missed. The king of carving Kenji Ogawa, fires up chisel and chainsaw to create an icy village sculpture that becomes the centrepiece of the popular GH Mumm Village Long Lunch.

The kids are well looked after with a big program of things to do including a village wide treasure hunt, face painting and art sessions and the roving mischievous Magician will sure excite all ages.

With snowmaking underway mid-May, long weekend revellers can strap on the ski’s and boards and hit the slopes for some early season turns.
With all bars and restaurants in full swing, a big party program, skiing and boarding and entertainment galore, Thredbo is sure to set the après pace for the season ahead.
