MIDNIGHT DANCE PARTIES

One of our coolest events is the “Midnight Dance Party” for the athletes, featuring :“kid-friendly” buffet, beverages, “glow in the dark” bling, the best DJs in Coeur d’ Alene, games and tons of other fun, all in a supervised, private setting! The Midnight Dance Party follows the “Big Show” Event finals. Parents, you can drop your athletes off and go and enjoy a quiet dinner or special beverage while your athletes have a great time with their fellow competitors and our party staff! The party runs from 10:00 pm – 12:00 Midnight, and is suitable for all ages! **Big Show Event finalists receive their Dance party tickets for free!**

OLYMPIAN ICE CREAM SOCIALS

220 lucky athletes and family members will get the chance to “Hang with our Olympians and Superstars” on the shore of beautiful Lake Coeur d’ Alene with ALL of our Olympians! They will receive a commemorative poster with all the Olympian’s photos, and enjoy delicious Ice Cream Sundays as the Olympians sign autographs and answer questions! (Normally we have this event on the cruise boats, but the cruise boats are undergoing mandatory renovations, so we will be hosting it in the Resort Shore Room this year only!) The social DOES end before the Big Show Event Finals!!)

As of 2016, we will now ALSO host 200 athletes and their guests to experience our “Ice Cream and Olympians for Breakfast” meet and greet on Sunday in the Plaza Shops!

THE BIG SHOW EVENT FINALS & PARADE OF OLYMPIANS

Many athletes come back to us many years later, and say this was the most memorable and coolest competition they ever participated in, so don’t miss it! This is an AMAZING show, as the best optional athletes from the preliminary competition come back to compete in this gala-style finals! **This ticket is a special ticket, unless you have purchased a Weekend Pass, which includes the Big Show!** Complete with LIVE DJs, honor guard, and a SOLD OUT crowd every year, each athlete will compete one-at-a-time, while being filmed on our giant big screens (no pressure!) Every finalist will receive one of the coveted GWGF Big Show Medals as awards, and will receive their Midnight Dance Party ticket for FREE as our thanks for qualifying. We also have our “Parade of Olympians,” where we recognize our many Olympians… they then stick around leading the dances during the finals, throwing T shirts, handing out awards and more! We ask that ALL Level 7, 8, 9 and 10 athletes fill out the Bio information for the Big Show Event Finals, please!! Please fill out your bio here!
