Kimball Arts Festival weekend is already upon us! The Arts Fest is in its 49th year – and is one of the top-ranked art festivals in the entire country. The three-day event brings THOUSANDS of visitors to Park City (pack your patience if you head out in your car – and plan to use public transportation or your bike whenever possible!) and features 225 artists (photo courtesy: Historic Main Street Alliance).
The event also serves as Kimball Art Center’s largest fundraiser. Money raised from the Arts Fest funds things like art education and curriculum in our public schools, after-school arts programs, scholarships for low-income children to participate in art classes and camps, and complimentary access for our community to experience gallery exhibitions.
Food Trucks, Artisan Tasting, & Beer Garden
Food truck options have expanded this year! You’ll find Banh Mi Time, Black’s Sliders, Brugesmobile, Fatty Tuna Sushi & Rame, and Kona Ice at the top of Main Street. More food will be lined up along Heber Avenue – these are the Artisan Tastings, which feature products from local producers. Burton’s Maplewood Farm, C&C’s Candies, JulieAnn Caramels, and Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream, Co will all be selling their wares.
Don’t forget about the beverages! Three beer and wine gardens will be scattered throughout the Festival, along with six locations for soda, teas, flavored waters, and other beverages.
SCHEDULE
EVENTS & ACTIVITIES
Studio on Main
Interactive, hands-on activities geared toward teens 13 years and up – and adults! You can create things like clay bowls, unique prints, Park City postcards, contemporary embroidery, tiny paintings, and wire sculptures! It’s just $5 dollars to participate – and you get to take your masterpiece home with you.
Kids’ Art Area
Speaking of masterpieces, there are plenty of art options for the little ones, too! Free face painting for all, along with fun $3 activities (4 for $10!) like creating with clay, figures in felt, and a festival scavenger hunt, are available to take care of any complaints of boredome. These activities could keep the kids crafting all day long!
Gallery Stroll
10 galleries along Main Street will have special exhibitions, food, and refreshments to supplement the action outside. Pop in and cool off at galleries like Earthlight Galleries, Bret Webster Images, Park City Fine Art, and Art Elevated.
Live Music
More than 30 musical acts are scheduled to perform over the three-day event, across three stages: the Kimball Stage, Miner’s Stage, and the Food Truck Stage. No matter where you are on Main Street, you’ll be able to bop along to music from acts like Motherlode Canyon Band, Streetcorner Boogie, Courtney Spalding, Kings of 88, Mountain Boogaloo, and Brothers Brimm.
Festival After Dark
Some of the most fun during Arts Fest weekend happens after dark, of course. There are a number of options to stay and play – see Aiko at OP Rockwell TONIGHT, or hit up the Deer Valley Music Festival if that’s more your speed. Saturday night, the Sundance Institute will host a free Sundance screening in City Park (make sure you bring a blanket!). The movie, “Red Dog: True Blue” is family-friendly, and begins at dusk. And the fun doesn’t end there! On Sunday night, show your Arts Festival wristband to receive two-for-one lawn seats to see Lucia Micarelli! Show begins at City Park at 6 p.m.
CLOSURES
Park City Library is closed all weekend, and, for obvious reasons, no Park Silly Sunday Market will be held. But – please be aware of this huge one – the construction work on I-80 will CONTINUE this evening. This means – I-80 EB will be COMPLETELY CLOSED to all traffic starting at 8 p.m. So if you’re out and about in Park City this evening and need to head back down the canyon to get home – you’ll need to use I-84 through Ogden or U.S. 40 to U.S. 189 through Provo Canyon. So please be aware of timing to avoid any travel headaches!
One of the local Park City businesses we enjoy is Ellie’s Chefs | Catering | Cafe. Ellie’s Catering frequently provides services for us right here in The Colony, and Ellie has recently opened a brand-new cafe in the Kimball Art Center. Ellie’s goal is to provide clean, creative cuisine; here’s a look at all the ways you can enjoy it!
Services
Ellie’s provides everything in its name: (private) Chefs, Catering, Cafe – and more: you can also have meals dropped off at your door (pick-up is an option, too). The meals are ready to roll – all you have to do is heat according to the included instructions.
The New Cafe
Natural, seasonal ingredients inform the menu, which changes based on availability, as most local, clean menus do. You can grab breakfast, lunch, and snacks from the Cafe, and (leashed) pups are welcome on the patio. The breakfast menu will usually include items like breakfast tacos, veggie frittata, and breakfast breads (come here on your carb cheat day!). For lunch, there are sandwiches served with chips and a pickle, but the signature bowls are not to be missed. Enjoy a Kale & Quinoa Bowl, Asian Salmon Bowl or a Mediterranean Bowl. Yum.
Ellie’s Cafe is open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Community Involvement
The food is fabulous, but one of the things we like most about Ellie’s is how committed the company is to providing support for our local community. Ellie’s contributes to a number of local nonprofits, like the National Ability Center, Recycle Utah – Park City, EATS (Eat Awesome Things At School), Park City Community Foundation, Adopt-A-Native-Elder, Peace House, and Summit Community Gardens.
One of our favorite reasons to shop locally is that more of the money we spend stays in our community – it pays local wages, it is spent at *other* local stores to purchase supplies and goods, and most of all, some of it is donated to local nonprofits. As it says on Ellie’s website, “when you hire Ellie’s, you are also supporting … organizations…who help make our lives so much better.” Any effort to build up and support our community is one we can get behind here at The Colony.
PARK CITY INSTITUTE
Park City Institute, originally known as the Park City Performing Arts Foundation, was founded in 1998, to bring world-class performances and new ideas to the Park City community (photo courtesy: Park City Institute). This year is its 20th year of doing just that – it finds incredibly thought-provoking speakers and delightful performers and puts them in front of our community at the George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Center stage.
PCI’s concert series, now in its 15th consecutive year, was a study in problem-solving after Deer Valley threw a huge curveball this spring. After 14 years of holding its events at the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheatre, DV informed Park City Institute its St. Regis Big Stars, Bright Night Concerts Series would need to find a new home – just months before the 15th season was to begin.
An orderly scramble ensued, and a solution was manifested: pop-up concert events! The rest of this season’s shows will be held at the Quinn’s Junction Recreation Complex* (Grace Potter was held at City Park). The challenges didn’t stop there, however, as the location didn’t have parking – or any nearby concession options. PCI kept leaping those hurdles and came up with free luxury shuttles for those who park at the Eccles Center at Park City High School and Richardson Flat. And, for the ever-important food, they coordinated their brilliant Food Truck Court. (*UPDATE: On Friday, July 27, Park City City Council approved the request to move all remaining summer concerts to City Park; all other details remain the same.)
FOOD TRUCK COURT
If you ask us, the quality of the selection at the Food Truck Court alone is a draw to attend these PCI pop-ups! Check out who parks at each party:
Riverhorse Provisions
You can pre-order picnics for the Big Stars, Bright Nights events from Riverhorse Provisions’ adorable food truck (well, really, for any occasion, but you can pick them up on-site at PCI’s pop-ups). Choose from the Southern Basket with fried chicken and creamy macaroni salad, the Falafel Box with falafel and tabbouleh, the Seafood Pack with shrimp cocktail and pasta salad – we could go on and on, but don’t make us because seriously, we’re getting hungry.
Freshie’s Lobster Co.
Park-City born-and-based Freshie’s is the home of the best lobster roll in the world, and those lobster rolls are up for grabs at each Big Stars, Bright Nights concert! The rolls come in three sizes, the Tourist, for those who only want 2 oz of fresh Maine lobster (just curious whether that size has ever been sold…), the Real Mainah, with 4 oz., and the XL, with 5 oz. of the good stuff. Ayuh.
Spencer’s Smokin’ Grill
Now, if you’re more in the mood for BBQ – head on over to Spencer’s. Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken, BBQ Beans, Dirty Rice, Tri-Tip, and, of course, Cornbread can be found here. Few things could be more fun than a full rack at a concert.
Praise Cheezus Gourmet Grilled Cheese
This one is pretty self-explanatory – toasty, gooey, delicious grilled cheese! From savory cheezus choices (The Old Testament concoction has gouda, cheddar, swiss, and garlic cream cheese spread), to sweet cheezus (The Trinity has brie, triple berry compote, and wild honey) – these grilled cheese sandwiches are practically a spiritual experience.
Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Company
Speaking of spiritual experiences, whatever you do while you’re at the events, *do not* miss the Wasatch Creamery ice cream bike. Flavors like Salted Oreo (do not even come near us with that because we cannot stop eating it), Lavender Blueberry, Peaches-n-Buttermilk, Peaches-n-Bourbon, Summer Strawberry (the most fresh thing we’ve ever tasted in our entire life), and Mango Sorbet, along with TONS of others, with more constantly being beta tested, are available at this station while supplies last.
Of course, attendees are always welcome to pack picnics, snacks, and beverages (you’re asked to avoid glassware for safety reasons), but with these world-class options *right there,* why bother?
THE SHOWS
Upcoming shows include Monday’s Chris Blue concert, Corinne Bailey Rae, and The Wallflowers. If you’d like to attend any of these upcoming events, you can buy tickets online, call or visit the Eccles Center Box Office (435-655-3114), or buy tickets at the on-site box office on the afternoon of the event.

Land and home sales at The Colony over the past 12 months tell a pretty incredible story – take a few moments to watch our Summer 2018 Sales Update video (below) for an outline. Things continue to move quickly here – in fact, in the time it took to produce this video, two additional lots have closed, and a third homesite – as well as a home – are under contract.
