Wednesday Farmer’s Market
Noon @ Park City Mountain (Silver King parking lot)
Stop by and pick up fresh fruit for a mid-hike snack, a bundle of organic vegetables for your family dinner, or locally made jams, jellies, trinkets, or jewelry to take home as a souvenir each Wednesday from 12:00 – 5:00 PM.

The Number Ones

What a fun concept! This group is a cover band that only covers songs that have hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. But you won’t just hear the same song you’ve heard a million times on the radio. Fusing the most popular songs in America with improvisational aspects of jazz and jam bands, TNOs provides a unique listening experience in which no song is ever the same twice.

Community Involvement

What’s Your Vision for Park City’s Future?
From Park City Municipal:
We’d like to hear from you, Park City! Take the Park City Vision 2020 community survey and apply to participate in July’s Think Tank Workshops

Park City has launched Park City Vision 2020 – a community visioning project asking residents and business owners to share their perspectives on:

What makes Park City the place that people wish to call home?
What makes Park City special and what should Park City become?
What are the elements of the community that, if lost, would fundamentally change the character of Park City?

Park City Vision 2020 will be a 6-month community visioning project to define a Park City Community Vision and Action Plan, as a follow up to the 2009 Park City Community Visioning project.

There will be several opportunities to get involved throughout the visioning process now through October.

For more information, contact linda.jager@parkcity.org or 435.615.5189.

Park City Event Guide: June 14 – 20

June 13, 2019 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

People often think of Park City as a winter playground. Having the “greatest snow on earth” will do that to a reputation. But our two world-class resorts don’t just become ghost towns during the summer months! This week, Canyons Village at Park City Mountain Resort opens, with a ton to do for adventurers of any age and sensibility, from serene scenic lift rides to mountain biking trails that will have you gritting your teeth and praying to make it down to the bottom of the mountain in one piece.

Also of note this weekend – the Latino Arts Festival this weekend – an event which gets bigger and bigger every single summer. It’s hosted jointly the Christian Center of Park City and the Park City Summit County Arts Council.
