The Village

The Village

The Village at Big Bear Lake is the heart and soul of the community — a delightful pedestrian-friendly shopping and dining district that captures the warm, welcoming spirit of mountain living. Stretching along Pine Knot Avenue, The Village features an eclectic mix of unique boutiques, souvenir shops, art galleries, and specialty stores that you won't find anywhere else.

Dining options in The Village range from casual pizza and burger joints to upscale restaurants featuring craft cocktails and gourmet cuisine. Favorite local spots include cozy coffee shops perfect for warming up after a day on the slopes, ice cream parlors for summer treats, and craft breweries serving locally inspired brews. Many restaurants offer outdoor patio seating with mountain views.

Throughout the year, The Village hosts a vibrant calendar of events and entertainment. Summer brings live music on weekends, car shows, and the famous Big Bear Fourth of July celebration. During the holiday season, the Village transforms into a winter wonderland with Christmas tree lighting, visits with Santa, and festive decorations. Street performers, seasonal festivals, and community gatherings make The Village a must-visit destination any time of year.
