Community Information
The 2023/2024 Special Event Calendar is filled with many activities. Below you will find a list of major events that the City permits within Park City Limits from November to April 2023. See the individual event tabs below for additional information two weeks ahead of the event.
If you want to know more, you can always go the individual event website as well. For a complete list of all activities in Park City and Summit County: visitparkcity.com.
Parking rates during major events are intended to encourage alternative modes of transportation during our busiest times. These rates are based on data and balance of needs for businesses and the community. Transit and bus schedules are increased during events and can be found here.
During Special Events, Main Street employees with Carpool, Business or Employee passes should park in North Marsac, Gateway or Flagpole Lots. If those lots are full, parking is available in China Bridge or Sandridge Lots as space allows. Parking is not guaranteed and fills early. Please take time to plan alternative modes of travel.
Why?
As part of the City's transportation goals, during major events, staffing is put into place to protect residential streets from cut through traffic.
What?
Event Access Passes help residents and businesses get though check points, to their home/business during major events. Special Event Access Passes are NOT parking passes. During hard closures of streets, residents will not be able to access closed roads.
2024 will be distributed door to door in December. These passes are valid for all major events. You can keep your hang tag year round.

Event Access Passes are valid on the following days. We may add additional events as needed.
- Park Silly Sunday Market

What if I lost mine or need another one?
Send us a text or give us a call and we will help you. We will need to confirm your address to validate that you need an Event Access Pass to get to private parking at your home or business. You can also stop by the Special Events Office, 3rd Floor at City Hall (445 Marsac Avenue), Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m.
I am having guests over, can they get one?
Maybe. If you have enough private off street parking for your guests we are happy to provide additional passes. If you are having guests over and don't have private parking, please refer to the Special Events Community Information website for additional parking and transportation options.
