The Park City Trail Series is a terrific way to explore trail running.

Park City Trail Series 5K
Saturday, June 9 → 8 AM

The Park City Trail Series is a fun (and dog-friendly!) way to be introduced to the sport of trail running. The series begins with a 5K on Saturday, with three additional (and increasing) longer races each month. All of the races are held on the Round Valley Trails, and runners are welcome to bring their pups along for the race (they begin in the final wave).

The races are scheduled as follows:

5K → Saturday, June 9
10K → Saturday, July 14
15K → August 11
13.1 miles → September 15

Guided Historical Hike @ Deer Valley Resort
Sunday, June 10 → 8:30 AM

Enjoy the gorgeous landscape of Deer Valley Resort with a guided historical hike on Sunday morning. The three-to-four hour hike will cover about six miles of moderately strenuous terrain – all while you learn about the area’s mining history. Participants should meet at the base of the Sterling Express chairlift (mid-mountain at Silver Lake Lodge). Reservations are required, along with a $10 fee. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes and proper sun protection (and bring along plenty of water and snacks!). To reserve your spot, you’re asked to call 435-645-6648.

RBG @ Jim Santy Auditorium (Park City Library Building)
Friday & Saturday → 8 PM
Sunday → 6 PM (panel to follow)

The documentary “RBG” is this weekend’s Park City Film Series selection.

At the age of 85, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become a truly unexpected pop culture icon – all while developing a breathtaking legal legacy. RBG is a documentary which takes you on the unique personal journey (called a “fist-bumping, crowd-pleasing doc” by Indiewire) of this quiet warrior and her rise to the nation’s highest court.

On Sunday, there will be a post-film panel with Utah Supreme Court Justice Paige Peterson, University of Utah Law Professor Erika George, and ACLU of Utah Legislative and Policy Counsel Marina Lowe. KPCW News Director Leslie Thatcher will moderate.

Al Jardin @ The Egyptian Theatre
Friday & Saturday → 8 PM
Sunday → 6 PM

Al Jardin’s mini-tour, “From the Very First Song with a Founding Member of the Beach Boys,” features songs and stories from the early days of The Beach Boys all the way through Al’s most recent solo album, “A Postcard from California.” He’ll be joined by his son, Matt Jardine, and Jeff Alan Ross. We’re told there will be lots of chances for Q & A, too!

Improvised Fairy Tales @ Park City Library
Saturday, June 9 → 3 – 4 PM

More family fun at Park City Library on Saturday, when Park City Improv will turn your favorite fairy tales on their head. We’re excited (and a little bit nervous?) for this one.

~SHOP~

Native Plant Sale @ Recycle Utah
Saturday, June 9 → 9 – 11 AM

Recycle Utah will host a native plant sale tomorrow morning, with drought-tolerant plants available for your garden. All plants are supplied by southern Utah nurseries (which specialize in xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscaping), and were brought here by Park City Nursery. Native plants conserve water with improved soil retention – and less water is required for maintenance. Learn more about all the work Recycle Utah does to improve and protect our community HERE.

The Park City Farmers Market has a brand-new location this year.

~UPCOMING EVENTS~

Park City Mountain Farmers Market
Wednesdays → 12 – 5 PM (rain, snow, or shine)
June 13 – October 10, 2018

The Park City Farmers Market moves to the base of Park City Mountain Resort this year! The seasonal market is open for business each Wednesday and features a large selection of fresh, local goods. Stop by and stock up on just-picked produce, freshly-baked bread, and arts & crafts from local producers and vendors.

If you have an event you’d like featured in our weekly roundup, please email Molly@TheColonyWPC.com.

Park Silly Sunday Market
Sundays, June 3 – September 23, 2018
10 AM – 5 PM

This sign on Comstock is weird, but probably effective.

It’s officially summer in Park City, and we know this for a few reasons: the sun rises early, flowers are in bloom, that dude on Comstock has his dog warning staked in the front yard, and Park Silly Sunday Market shuts down Historic Main Street and packs the pavement with people, local products, and potations.

Park Silly is an “eco-friendly open air market, street festival, and commUnity forum where neighbors and friends come together…” To fully experience Silly Market, we recommend the fabulous and free city bus, or a carpool (traffic and parking can get a bit, well, silly).

Then, start at the top of Main to stock up on fruits and veggies at the farmers’ market, and stroll on down to take in local artwork, locally-made items (from fidget spinners to fur-trimmed jeans), antiques, imports, gourmet foods, and finally, the live music and bar set up at the bottom. Don’t forget your sunscreen and a water bottle!

Barn Party @ National Ability Center
June 2 → 5:30 – 10:00 PM

National Ability Center’s annual Barn Party is a celebration of its Equestrian Program and the start of summer in Park City. Live music, BBQ, a whiskey saloon, and tons of activities for the kiddos make this a Saturday night outing your whole fam will enjoy. We highlighted the incredible work NAC does HERE – take a peek, then grab your boots and hat to get ready for tonight’s party!

Park City Film Series presents “The Rider”
Saturday → 8PM | Sunday → 6PM
Rated R, 104 min.

Park City Film Series provides this synopsis: “A true story of a once rising star of the rodeo circuit warned that his competition days are over after a tragic riding accident. Back home, Brady finds himself wondering what he has to live for when he can no longer do what gives him a sense of purpose: to ride and compete. In an attempt to regain control of his fate, Brady undertakes a search for a new identity and tries to redefine his idea of what it means to be a man in the heartland of America.”
