Sundance Film Festival and Beyond
The annual Sundance Film Festival runs Jan 18-28. Most events are held in Park City, with some in Salt Lake City and at other spots along Utah's Wasatch Front.
See the festival website and Daily Insider publication for current info on what to see and where to see it. Park City is all about skiing. Area resorts will be crowded during Sundance, but when the festivities end, when Hollywood goes home, the town's atmosphere becomes more laid back and hospitable.
But skiing isn't the only game in town. Park City and Salt Lake City have matured during the past few years. They have become more diverse, more cosmopolitan, and they offer excellent restaurants, clubs, pubs, musical events and other kinds of nightlife. These communities offer a wide range of opportunities, from family-friendly theatre to dance clubs to fine wine.
