MountainStyle Living

Long celebrated as a world-class ski destination, Park City has quietly transformed into a vibrant summer hotspot. In recent years, the mountain town has seen a surge in warm-weather visitors, thanks in part to a growing lineup of festivals, events and outdoor experiences that showcase its scenic charm beyond the slopes.

Longtime locals have always known that summers in the mountains are pure magic, with miles of scenic trails to explore and refreshingly mild temperatures that make every day an invitation to get outside. But the secret is out — and over the years Park City has steadily expanded its summer calendar with new programming to keep pace with rising demand.

No matter your interest — whether it’s food, film, music, art or outdoor adventure — Park City offers a festival or event to match nearly every passion. This robust lineup has shaped a unique lifestyle for visitors and locals, seamlessly blending culture with endless opportunities to explore the outdoors.

One of the town’s longest- running traditions is the Park City Kimball Arts Festival, which is set to celebrate its 56th year in August 2025. This annual festival draws hundreds of artists to Main Street to showcase their work in a variety of mediums.

A locals’ favorite, the Park Silly Sunday Market has been around for almost two decades. This open-air market and street festival has grown tremendously over the years with free live music, performers and kids activities.

For music lovers, the Canyons Village Summer Concert Series hosts free live music throughout the summer on Park City Mountain Resort, and the Deer Valley Music Festival serves as the Utah Symphony’s summer home.

Park City Song Summit has quickly made a name for itself with its fresh take on a traditional music festival. This multi-day music and wellness event features intimate conversations and performances from some of the country’s most talented musical artists.

Foodies can experience Park City’s Savor the Summit, where guests gather for an al fresco feast at a long communal table set right down the middle of Main Street. And for those looking to pair great food with world-class wine, the annual Park City Wine Festival showcases top selections from around the globe.

With its ever-growing summer lineup of events, Park City has redefined what it means to be a year-round destination. Summer here isn’t just a season — it’s a celebration of culture, community and the great outdoors, all set against a mountain backdrop. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime local, there’s always something new to discover — and a reason to come back.
