Park City Arts Festival

39th annual Park City Arts Festival hosted by the Kimball Art CenterIn case you missed the Utah Arts Festival which was held this past weekend in downtown Salt Lake City at Library Square, the Park City Kimball Arts Festival is right around the corner. This year the Park City Arts Festival will take place August 1-3. It’s a marvelous time to be in Park City to take in the arts.

When most people think of “arts” they often conjure up images of paintings.

Park City Arts Festival on Main Street

No, this festival is much more broad than that. Artists in all types of expertise from sculpting, photography, painting, woodcarving, wood prints, potters, and more will gather in this the 39th year of the art festival. In addition there will be musical talent and street entertainers with a plethora of culinary artists there to satisfy any pallet.

If you’ve got children there will be an area for young artists where they can let their creative minds express themselves. It truly is a family affair. Aside from the festival there are still plenty of outdoor activities, restaurants, and sites to visit (including the amazing art at the Kimball Art Center) so whether you’re here for the weekend or the week, you won’t lack for variety in a mountain setting.

    I’m looking forward to this – my friend Andrew Goldring and his Rosedale Power Company (www.andrewgoldring.com) will be performing on the afternoon of the 2nd. It’s always a great time, with fascinating art, fun music, interesting people, and delicious food! Don’t miss it!

    Ever since I spent the winter skiing in Park City when I was 5 years old I’ve had a love affair with this place. Being from Hawaii, I don’t get out to visit as often as I like. But this this festival gives me the perfect excuse to make a trip out to Park City during the summer with my family (now I’m into mountain biking ;-) !
