Park City is famous for its world-class winter sports, but there’s more than enough going on in P.C. to make it worth a visit during the warmer months. Here are five fabulous things to do in Park City in the summer.
Come “Savor the Summit”
This Saturday, June 24, will be Park City’s annual Savor the Summit event.
What is Savor the Summit? Well, picture a mile-long table stretching down the middle of Park City Historic Main Street. Imagine that table overflowing with culinary offerings from Park City’s best restaurants. Now picture diners toasting, talking, and basking in the joy of a totally unique al fresco dining experience in the clean mountain air as the sun sets over the Wasatch range.
Sound amazing? It is!
You can’t buy tickets for this event. Instead, make a reservation by going online here and perusing the Savor the Summit menus for the 20+ participating restaurants, then giving your chosen restaurant a call. This year’s line-up features everything from gourmet pub food to upscale French and Japanese, so there’s surely something to match your palate. The hardest part will be choosing!
For 2023, Kimball Terrace and Culinary Crafts will once again be a sponsor for Savor the Summit. In partnership with Dilécta Wines, we will offer a five-course meal prepared by our own Kaleb Crafts. All proceeds will benefit the charity TAG Ranch. Check out the menu here and come join us at the Grand Table!
Take In a Concert
Every year, as the weather starts to turn hot, the Utah Symphony packs up and takes its show to the mountains for the summer. From June to August, the symphony will perform at Park City’s Deer Valley Music Festival. Concerts will be held at the Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater and at Saint Mary of the Assumption church, while private Park City homes will host salon events. Other performers who will be giving concerts in Park City this summer include Kenny Loggins, Old Crow Medicine Show, and the incomparable Ben Folds.
Explore Your Wild Side
Park City is the place for outdoor recreation in Utah. Summer outdoor offerings include
over 450 miles of biking and hiking trails,
one of the longest bobsled rides in the world at Utah Olympic Park,
boating, paddle boarding, and other water sports at nearby Rockport State Park or Jordanelle State Park,
hot air ballooning (although Park City’s annual Autumn Aloft event has officially been retired, you can still enjoy high altitude views through companies like Bigfoot Balloons, Skywalker Balloon Company, and Utah Balloon Flights),
horseback riding,
speeding down the Alpine Coaster or the Alpine Slide,
golfing at one of the seven public and eight private courses around Park City, or
taking a zipline ride at Park City Mountain or Utah Olympic Park.
Immerse Yourself in the Kimball Arts Festival
From August 4-6, Park City’s Historic Main Street will come alive with the Kimball Arts Festival. The festival features exhibits and demonstrations by artists working in various media, plus good food, two live outdoor stages, a “creation station” for kids of any age, and so much more!
If you buy a Weekender or VIP Pass, be sure to come relax with us in the Kimball Terrace VIP lounge where you’ll enjoy yummy bites from Culinary Crafts as well as beer, wine, and craft cocktails from High West Distillery.
Throw a Party (or, Better Yet, Get Married)!
We’re only half-kidding.
Summer in Park City is the perfect time and place for a celebration, especially of the nuptial variety. At Kimball Terrace, we absolutely love hosting corporate and private events in the summer months, as well as destination and local weddings, because the alpine weather is pleasant and the views are gorgeous. It’s the absolute best time of the year to utilize our indoor and outdoor spaces.
Whatever warm-weather fun suits your style, we hope you’ll come join us in Park City this summer.
