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.
Music in the Meadow | July 2018
The first-ever Music in the Meadow was an evening filled with lovely music, delicious food, and a bull moose sighting! The event was held in the Meadow Lakes area of The Colony as a way to introduce the community to the magic of the upper meadow.
About 150 guests were ferried by golf cart to Homesite 270 (one of our favorites in the Meadow Lakes) and enjoyed music from Rogers & Buffington, food by Ellie’s, wine by Old Town Cellars, and homemade Ice Cream by Wasatch Creamery Ice Cream Co. Photos were captured by Eclectic Brew Productions.
Meadow Lakes Homesites
The Meadow Lakes Homesites are the initial release of our final chapter here at The Colony – Phase 5. The 12 spectacular homesites skirt the upper meadow of The Colony and offer flat building pads, incredible old-growth forest, and a remarkable water feature with five lakes and a waterfall-dotted stream. Just 5 Meadow Lakes Homesites remain:
267 White Pine Canyon Road
This homesite is tucked among old-growth aspens on a partially-wooded corner lot. It’s an easy build lot with big sky views and ski-in, ski-out access directly outside your door. Such close ski proximity means hiking and biking trails are just as close when the snow melts. Homesite 267 is perhaps the best value to be found in The Colony.
267 WPC Rd: 4.44 acres | Offered at $1.9 million
268 White Pine Canyon Road
Some of the largest aspens in The Colony are found on this homesite, which has exceptional views of the meadow water features. The homesite is nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac, with remarkable ski-in, ski-out access to multiple ski runs.
268 WPC Rd: 2.40 acres | Offered at $2.6 million
269 White Pine Canyon Road
More spectacular down-meadow views overlooking the meadow lakes are found from this homesite, which is partially-wooded with mature, healthy pine and aspen trees. This homesite has terrific ski-in, ski-out access from Quicksilver Gondola and the closest proximity to hiking and biking meadow trails.
269 WPC Rd: 2.42 acres | Offered at $2.5 million
270 White Pine Canyon Road
This is one of our very favorite homesites in The Colony – and the setting for our Music in the Meadow event. The setting is naturally extremely private, with some of the best down-meadow views available, with ski access.
270 WPC Rd: 3.33 Acres | Offered at $2.8 million
273 White Pine Canyon Road
An extremely private corner cul-de-sac homesite, due to its heavily forested setting. It has some of the oldest-growth, largest aspen trees in all of The Colony, and is one of our larger remaining lots available with, of course, ski-in, ski-out access.
273 WPC Rd: 4.74 acres | Offered at $1.9 million
Finally, congratulations to Darhl Bova, winner of our raffle for dinner for four this winter at The Colony Yurt!
“Affirmations” Exhibition
Local Artists Reception
Gallery MAR @ 6PM
Connect with local artists Ron Russon and Cristall Harper at the “Affirmations” local artists reception. (Photo courtesy: Gallery MAR. The work is, “I am Encircled, in oil, by Cristall Harper.)
Cristall Harper has a studio in American Fork, and says she paints the way “a glass artist works: with lots of little shapes of color.” A critic once described her work as “…personal version of abstraction… beautifully rooted in reality.” Her themes are delineated as florals, dogs, and seascapes.
Ron Russon was born and raised outside of Lehi and his work focuses on wildlife, landscapes, and prairie & farm. He describes himself as “a farmer who paints,” and paints in rural life in a contemporary style.
Meet both artists – and view their work – on Friday night at Gallery MAR.

Niki de Saint Phalle: Freedom Would Be Mine
Community Opening @ 6 PM
Kimball Art Center
Niki de Saint Phalle is considered one of the foremost women artists of the 20th century. Her works as a sculptor, painter, and filmmaker from the 1950s – early 2000s range from intimate to monumental. Her career started with provocative, angry works, with bullseyes over collages, and knives and razor blades embedded in plaster. Over time, though, her work evolved to become joyful, bright sculptures of women. This exhibit, Freedom Would Be Mine, “explores the artist’s radical redefinition of women’s roles and women’s bodies and unveils Saint Phalle’s continual quest for freedom.” Her work will be on display at the Kimball Art Center from July 21 – September 16.

Deer Valley Music Festival
Rick Springfield with the Utah Symphony
Gates open @ 5:30 PM | Show @ 7:30 PM
When you think of the Deer Valley Music Festival, you may think of it like we do – BD and AD (before dancing and after dancing). Our favorite moment at each concert is the one where the night cracks open and people hit the dance floor … er, grass. We have a feeling that the dancing is going to start *really* early when GRAMMY®-winning singer/songwriter Rick Springfield joins the Utah Symphony. Wear comfy shoes (or not, maybe just flip your shoes off when you’re ready to dance) and start gearing up for “Jessie’s Girl,” along with his other hits.
Miner’s Plaza Concerts
Shows begin @ 1:30 PM
A few Saturdays this summer, Mountain Town Music has programmed complimentary concerts in Miner’s Park, a pocket-sized park in the center of Historic Main Street.
