What to do on a Park City Summer Vacation
Park City is an amazing summer mountain town. For locals, this is the best season. There’s a huge range of activities and events!
Concerts
In the summer, ski runs become front-row seats. Picnic with panache at the Deer Valley summer concert series with the Utah Symphony, or rock out with Concerts on the Slopes at the Canyon’s amphitheater.
Kimball Arts Festival
August 7–9 is Kimball Arts Festival! It’s the best way to experience Main Street Park City. Discover nearly 200 jury-selected artists representing 13 mediums. 2 stages will feature local musicians and dance performances. There are art activities for both kids and adults, food trucks, and a new beer-tasting experience. Local’s night and general admission tickets are on sale now.
Hike
Hike the hills of Park City Resort and Deer Valley to see the aspen groves, sagebrush, and wildlife. Take the adventure further with a drive up the seasonal Guardsman’s Pass to access Big Cottonwood Canyon hikes like Silver Lake, Willow Lake, and Donut Falls.
Lake Day
Swimming spots can be hard to come by in Utah, but Park City is just 20 minutes from the Jordanelle Reservoir! Rent boats, jet skis, paddle boards, and kayaks from the marina. Keep a lookout on the State Park page for nature learning events like telescope stargazing and naturalist walks.
Utah Olympic Park
Tour the 2002 Olympic Park, an official U.S. Olympic training site! Their Summer Gold Pass includes all-day access to ziplines, ropes courses, and extreme tubing (local IDs get a discount!).
Dine
Main Street Park City is home to over 50 restaurants, so whatever you’re craving, it’s here! For a 21+ dining experience, check out the High West Saloon for house-distilled whiskey and locally inspired mountain cuisine. Park City’s ‘The Locals’ Reddit does an annual restaurant rating. Park City Restaurant Association hosts restaurant profiles for easy browsing.
