It’s Movies, Music & A Party
Normally during the winter, Park City, Utah, is full of people blasting down white-power slopes on skis and snowboards.
But for one week week of January each year, the chair lifts and ski runs are nearly empty (so if you want no lift lines, it’s a great time to go there). Instead of two-plankers and shredders, Park City is filled with filmmakers, actors, celebrities, corporations fans and social souls looking for the best party.
It’s the Sundance Film Festival, Jan. 24-Feb. 3 in 2019,
Sundance is a series of films from independent filmmakers and thousands of them are shown at 13 venues around town. Additionally, corporations host events to showcase their technology and cool gadgets. Click here for information on some of these you can attend if you’re at Sundance.
