Fall is one of Big Bear’s most beautiful seasons, and our local businesses play a huge role in giving visitors even more reasons to make the trip.

We’re asking our Members and Partners to submit any fall, Halloween, harvest, seasonal, or limited-time promotions you’re planning. That could be a special menu item, themed event, lodging package, discount, family activity, retail promotion, live entertainment, photo opportunity, or something completely unique to your business.

The more our partners create and share, the more we can showcase the full experience waiting for visitors throughout the Valley. A strong mix of promotions helps turn a beautiful fall getaway into a full itinerary - and gives us more opportunities to feature your business through Visit Big Bear’s marketing channels.

Even a simple seasonal special can give someone one more reason to stop in, stay longer, explore another part of town, or come back again.

Let’s work together to make fall in Big Bear feel active, festive, and full of things to discover.

Join us on Wednesday, October 14 for two opportunities to stay informed, connect with Visit Big Bear, and spend time with fellow Members and Partners.

Q3 Digital Summit | 2:00 PM via Zoom
Get the latest tourism trends, Big Bear performance updates, upcoming opportunities, and news from Visit Big Bear and our local partners.

Partner Mixer | 6:00–8:00 PM at Rosa’s Cantina in The Village
Then join us in person at Rosa’s for a relaxed evening of networking, conversation, complimentary appetizers, and your first drink.

The Digital Summit helps keep everyone aligned on what’s happening across the destination, while the mixer gives us a chance to strengthen the relationships behind the work.
