Park City Event Guide: November 30 – December 2

November 30, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR Leave a Comment

Let it snow! The ski season is off to a smashing start – we’re already looking at a 21″ base and more trails and lifts opening at Park City Mountain by the day. If you’re not planning to spend the weekend on the mountain, there are plenty of other options for you to enjoy our beautiful Park City community!

FRIDAY, November 30 

MEET & GREET →

Avalanche Dogs Meet & Greet 
4:30 PM @ Ski Beach (Canyons Village)

We were going to tell you to find a kid to bring to play with the avi puppies, but who are we kidding, we don’t need kids around to enjoy these fabulous, furry lifesavers! As it turns out, these good boys and girls are out each and every Friday this season at the Ski Beach. Be sure to bring your Epic Pass — the resort photographers will be on-hand to take pictures!

The Christkindlmarkt is open Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. – 8 p.m.

Park City Institute Presents:
National Geographic Live! Point of No Return with Hilaree Nelson
7:30 PM @ Eccles Center (PCHS)

From the Park City Institute website:
“In the fall of 2014, a National Geographic team set out on what they knew would be a harrowing journey to the summit of Burma’s Hkakabo Razi to determine if it is indeed Southeast Asia’s highest point. What they  didn’t realize was that the greatest obstacle wouldn’t be their dwindling rations, or the grueling jungle hikes, or the life-threatening hypothermia. It was the force of conflicting personalities that threatened to unravel the entire endeavor. Leader Hilaree Nelson recounts the tough decisions she had to make to keep the team together, accompanied by photographer Cory Richard’s dramatic stills and clips from Renan Ozturk’s searing documentary Down to Nothing.”
~

Stand-Up Comedy
8 PM @ The Egyptian Theatre

Co-headliners Frank Lucero & Brian Hicks will lead a night full of adult humor – and beverages. You don’t have to be 21 to attend, but you do have to be 21 to purchase booze. Buy tickets HERE.

Park City Institute Presents: Red Molly
7:30 PM @ Eccles Center (PCHS)


From the website: “The Americana powerhouse vocal trio arrives on our stage with gorgeous harmonies, crisp musicianship, infectious songwriting, and warm, engaging stage presence. Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner  (Dobro), and Molly Venter (guitar) weave together the threads of American music — from folk roots to bluegrass, from heartbreaking ballads to barn-burning honky tonk — as effortlessly as they blend their caramel voices into their signature soaring, crystalline three-part harmonies. Equal parts concert performance and living-room jam session, the musical storytelling will heat up a cold winter’s night.”
~

Park City Film Presents: 
“The Man Who Invented Christmas” 
4 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium 

As part of its Books 2 Movies series, this film will screen for free at the Jim Santy Auditorium in the Park City Library. From the website: “‘The Man Who Invented Christmas’ tells the magical journey that led to the creation of Ebenezer Scrooge, Tiny Tim and other classic characters from Charles Dickens’ ‘A Christmas Carol.’ Directed by Bharat Nalluri the film shows how Charles Dickens (Dan Stevens) mixed real-life inspirations with his vivid imagination to conjure up unforgettable characters and a timeless tale, forever changing the holiday season into the celebration we know today.”
~

Park City Film Presents: “Colette”
8 PM @ Jim Santy Auditorium

The story of Colette, who married a successful Parisian writer. In an interesting turn of events, her husband convinces her to ghostwrite for him, and the novel (which she wrote in a semi-autobiographical way) is a smash. The couple becomes the talk of Paris and she writes additional novels. Of course, the clash comes when Colette begins to chafe against creative ownership and societal constraints.

The Art and Science of Arachnids
Swaner Preserve & EcoCenter
Wednesdays – Sundays: 10 AM – 4 PM

This exhibit is seriously catching people in its net – and it just so happens to be the largest arachnid exhibit in the United States.

The exhibit guides visitors to explore connections between arachnids and literature, art, folklore, paleontology, science, and history. You’ll see 100 live arachnids (!) and experience hands-on activities – hopefully, the live arachnids are not the hands-on activities, but you’ll have to go see it in order to find out. INSIDER TIP: They feed the spiders on Thursdays – so that is a great time to go see some action.

This exhibit is available to read and listen to in both Spanish and English, and is free for members; for pricing and other info, click here.
