Thredbo Summer Events Ignite Peak-Season Demand in the Snowy Mountain

Thredbo Resort

Australia’s most iconic alpine resort is proving that Thredbo is just as compelling in summer as it is in winter. Thredbo Summer Events are set to drive strong peak-season demand, with a dynamic January program that blends food, music, sport and adventure against the spectacular backdrop of the Snowy Mountains. From festival weekends to live music and immersive alpine experiences, Thredbo is positioning itself as a must-visit summer mountain destination.

Complementing bucket-list hikes, Australia’s premier Mountain Bike Park and the Southern Hemisphere’s only Alpine Coaster, Thredbo’s summer events calendar adds depth and diversity to its warm-weather appeal.

A January Events Calendar That Draws Every Crowd

January at Thredbo is a celebration of culture, cuisine and live entertainment. The much-loved Thredbo Blues Festival returns for its 31st year from 16 to 18 January, combining soulful live music with curated dining events that transform the village into an alpine festival hub.

Food and beverage lovers can continue the celebrations at the Snowies Beer, Food & Wine Festival from 23 to 25 January. This popular event showcases regional produce, craft beverages and relaxed mountain hospitality, attracting visitors looking for a flavour-driven escape in the high country.

Live Music and Festival Energy All Summer Long

Music remains a powerful drawcard throughout the season, with Thredbo’s free Summer Music Series running from late December into January. Set across village venues and outdoor spaces, the series creates a vibrant après-adventure atmosphere for visitors of all ages.

The festival momentum continues into February, with Australian favourites Hockey Dad confirmed to headline the Cannonball MTB Festival closing party on 14 February. This high-energy finale reinforces Thredbo’s reputation as a destination where sport, music and mountain culture intersect.

Adventure Experiences Beyond the Events

While the summer events calendar is a major attraction, Thredbo’s alpine experiences remain at the core of its appeal. Visitors can explore guided hikes through Kosciuszko National Park, access comprehensive mountain bike programs or test their nerves on the Alpine Coaster, the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

Australia’s premier Mountain Bike Park continues to attract riders from across the country, while family-friendly activities and scenic chairlift rides ensure there is something for every traveller.

A Leading Summer Mountain Destination

By combining world-class outdoor experiences with a carefully curated events program, Thredbo is reinforcing its status as a leading summer mountain destination. The result is strong peak-season demand driven by families, food lovers, music fans and adventure seekers, all drawn to a resort that delivers far more than just a traditional alpine escape.
