The festival will have craft beers and delicious donairs to enjoy on the peak patio, and you can gaze out over the incredible panoramic views of Banff while you're there.
From the peak of Sulphur Mountain, you'll get incredible views of mountain ranges, the Bow Valley and Banff town. There's also a boardwalk where you can walk across to Sanson's Peak for even more incredible views.
At the top of the mountain, you also find a discovery centre where you can learn more about the history of Banff National Park or head to the stunning Sky Bistro for the most scenic dinner imaginable.
