Get This Party Started!Just what kind of mood are you in?

Whatever it is, you better be ready for

some good times, because once the

sun goes down, the fun continues in

Big Bear Lake. Maybe you’re in the

mood to just lounge around at Big Bear Mountain Brewery with a group

of friends to sip a brew and laugh at

all the funny things that happened on

the slopes; maybe you feel like a game

of shuffleboard, ping-pong, or darts at

Nottinghams’ upstairs pub. You might

want to catch the big game at Diamond Lil’s or just stop by for happy-hour

specials. There’s always a party at

The Bowling Barn, which offers glow

bowling every night, a full-service bar,

arcade, and billiards. There’s plenty for

the youngsters to do at the Funplex

such as laser tag, video games, and

a mini rollercoaster. Whatever mood

you’re in after the sun goes down, the

good folks of Big Bear are certain

you’ll have a good time!

BIG BEAR sets the stage for fun.

The natural alpine scenery that surrounds Big Bear Lake—from lakeside to the mountaintops—creates stunning backdrops

for events, which explains why so many events are held each year at this mountain resort. Each weekend you can count on something happening in Big Bear Valley, whether it’s the call of brass horns, the cadence of thumping drums, the electric twang of a steel guitar, or harmonious voices of a theatrical chorus line. It might be lively characters in 16th-Century costumes causing a mighty stir, or it could be a troupe of tiny tots dressed in lederhosenand dirndls prancing around to polka music, or perhaps it’s a cowboy posse gathered around a campfire telling original stories, keeping the audience spellbound. One thing for certain is the folks of Big Bear know how to entertain. Guests can find out what’s happening around town 24/7 with a calendar of events readily available online or on a mobile device at www.BigBear.com.
