Concert at Deer Valley Resort

We all know summer weather was slow to arrive, but now that it’s here, locals and visitors rejoice for outdoor summer concert season. Hundreds of performers will grace the various outdoor stages set to beautiful scenery around Park City. Many are free while some require ticket purchases. There is one new exception, however: the long-running Park City Institute’s Big Stars Bright Nights Series, which had its home at Deer Valley Resort for many years, is now forced to hold its concerts indoors at the Eccles Theater at Park City high school. Deer Valley will continue to host concerts by known national acts. Other outdoor venues include stages at Park City Mountain and Canyons Village, as well as High Star Ranch in Kamas.

First thing's first - food!

Spring has sprung! It’s time to dust off old man winter and do some spring cleaning along with some necessary spring maintenance on your home.

Pink Park City

Pink Park City is the one day of the year for people to come together to ski or snowboard for a cause that hits home for most.
