Summer Life in Park City

Summer in Park City, of course, means a full schedule of weddings and events for the Soirée ladies.

It also means that the city itself is bursting with activity, many of which are unique to park city. Ski runs are transformed into incredible mountain bike and hiking paths. Lifts continue to run, not only for scenic summer rides but to assist in transporting mountain bikes to the top so riders can save their energy for a great ride down.

Park City’s own Utah Olympic Park runs awesome rides such as the famous Alpine slide, the zipline, the bobsled and more. They have a wealth of education opportunities and more fun including the Saturday freestyle pool shows.

One of my personal favorites about summer in Park City is the weekly live music that seems to envelope the town. Concerts of seriously jamming music are literally everywhere:

Snow Park at Deer Valley hosts great concerts in their outdoor Amphitheatre.

The Canyons brings in great and fun bands to their outdoor stage in their lovely village.

The St. Regis has introduced the “Big Names, Bright Stars Summer Concert Series” showcasing big name performers at the Snow Park Amphitheatre.

A great weekly stop is the Free Thursday Night Concert Series in the Newpark Town Center.

We really love it, because it’s a great time to throw on your flip flops, bring a blanket, a bottle of wine or two and just relax in the Newpark Town Center. Tradition is to order an oversized pizza To-Go from Maxwell’s and snack and mingle to the great live and local talent. I highly suggest at least experiencing a Newpark Thursday Concert with the locals of Park City. It’s one of our favorite weekly sunset activity and we suggest that everyone, especially visitors check it out!
