The Village
The Village · Big Bear Lake, California
Park once. Walk everywhere.
The Village is Big Bear's downtown — the hub for shopping, dining, and nightlife, with over 120 local vendors packed into a few walkable blocks along Pine Knot Avenue and Village Drive. The food runs the world: Italian, Nepalese, Thai, Mexican, German, ramen, plus breweries, coffee shops, candy stores, and ice cream. Between meals there are boutiques, art galleries, a bowling barn, escape rooms, and a movie theater. It's beautiful in every season — flowers in spring, warm color in fall, and twinkling lights and public fire pits in winter.
Hours, prices, seasons and closures change — we do not publish any of them here because we cannot keep them verified. Check with The Village directly before you go.
