Unless you’re heading up to the Pemberton Music Festival this weekend, you might want to avoid the Sea-to-Sky Highway.
The Ministry of Transportation says drivers can expect heavy traffic and possible delays along Highway 99 between Horseshoe Bay and Pemberton this week due to the Pemberton Music Festival happening from Thursday, July 14 to Monday, July 18.
Authorities are advising drivers to plan their travel in advance, drive safely, and obey signs and traffic control personnel.
The Pemberton Music Festival is expected to draw over 100,000 concert-goers for the five-day event with headliners including Pearl Jam, The Killers, J. Cole, and Snoop Dogg. Organizers say this year’s festival is set to shatter all previous attendance records.
It is Canada’s largest music, comedy, and camping festival.
