The first annual Pemberton Festival went off without a hitch, well, mostly without a hitch. The only real concern at the massive music festival North of Whistler was the traffic associated with 40,000 spectators.
An extra 40,000 persons on a road is never easily coped with, especially when said road is under a significant amount of construction in anticipation of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver & Whistler.
The worst traffic hot spots were travelling through Pemberton from the festival grounds and also navigating the construction of Squamish, which is already a slow section on normal weekends.
LiveNation, who put on the festival, plans to host the event again next year, and will hopefully have smoother traffic flow through increased group transportation and the completion of the bulk of the Sea to Sky highway.
