1. Celebrate Miner’s Day — A Local Tradition
Labor Day and Miner’s Day merge seamlessly in Park City. The day kicks off early at City Park with a hearty pancake breakfast hosted by St. Mary’s Catholic Church.
Right after, the quirky Running of the Balls begins: thousands of numbered golf balls cascade down Main Street, with prizes for the winners. Then comes the Miner’s Day Parade along Main Street, ending in a family-friendly block party at City Park with live music, kids’ games, and food trucks.

2. Hike and Bike Through Scenic Trails
If you’re craving classic Park City views, lace up your boots for a hike along the Armstrong Trail. After a steep start, it rewards you with cool forested paths and sweeping views of the mountains.
For something more relaxed, the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail offers 28 miles of biking, walking, or even horseback riding through Silver Creek Canyon—perfect for soaking in the late-summer air.
3. Golf with a View
Tee off at the Park City Golf Club, where immaculate greens and mountain backdrops make every round unforgettable. Keep an eye out—you may even spot moose or deer grazing nearby.
4. Live Music & Art on the Menu
Summer in Park City means plenty of live music. Free concert series at Canyons Village (Thursday & Saturday nights) and Park City Mountain Village (Friday through Monday) keep the mountain vibes alive.
Art lovers can explore Main Street galleries or check out the Last Friday Gallery Stroll, where many galleries open their doors with complimentary snacks and drinks.
5. Markets & Local Flavors
The Park City Farmers Market at Canyons Village brings fresh produce, artisan goods, and live music every Wednesday through October.
For a more eclectic experience, stop by the Park Silly Sunday Market on Main Street—part street fair, part farmers market, part festival, and always lively.
Foodies will find endless flavors to explore: from coffee at Pink Elephant and hearty plates at Handle, to craft cocktails at High West Distillery. Don’t miss Ritual Chocolate for sweet local indulgence.
