Although the COVID-19 pandemic has squashed many summer events in Park City like the Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series, the Park Silly Sunday Market and the Park City Kimball Arts Festival, there are still some opportunities to enjoy live music and other fun activities.

Here’s a spotlight of a few events happening in July, including the chance to catch some sweet, acoustic tunes outside the Park City Library, an opportunity to score fresh produce straight from the farm and the ability to experience the finest art Park City’s renowned galleries have to offer.
