Things To Do In Park City In July

To start July off with a bang, the 4th of July Parade in Park City is the best place to start. Floats, crowds, costumes, and more make this a super fun, festive day. It's America's birthday too of course, so expect all of the star spangled decorations as well. The parade starts at the top of Main Street and goes clear to the bottom of Park Avenue—well over a mile. Grab some lawn chairs and claim a spot the night before to catch all the action. 

The day doesn't end there though. The party on Main Street goes all day. If you need a break though, grab a hike or bike ride. Or relax a bit before hitting the town for dinner and drone show! 

One of the most fun and sustainable way to get around and enjoy all that Park City has to offer is the Summit Bike Share program. Launched in 2017, the bike share system offers a network of 20 stations and 190 electric-assist bicycles available 24/7. These shared bikes are a great alternate transit option for residents and visitors to explore the town.

From Paddleboarding to yoga, to tours of Park City via a OneWheel, Park City SUP is sure to make your experience an unforgettable one. Check out their website to find more details and sign up for classes. If you’re a local or in town for a while why not sign your kids up for their summer classes, they’re sure to have a blast.   

If you’re looking for a bit of an adrenaline rush, then you’ll want to stop by the Utah Olympic Park. They have all sorts of activities for adults and kids alike. Tubing down the ski jumps is an absolute rush and the ropes courses are adventurous and exciting. Not quite an adrenaline junkie? Great, because there are plenty of fun and laid-back activities like the Alf Engen Ski Museum!

The Last Friday Gallery Stroll in Park City remains one of a handful of free year-round activities in this seasonal town, welcoming locals and visitors dressed for either summer or snow, and with a range of artists and artwork with just as vast an influence. Visit the 19 different galleries on the last Friday of every month from 6:00 pm-9:00 pm, some waving the signature white flag denoting their participation in the event, many of whom take the opportunity to feature artists and provide hors d'oeuvres, often with the artist themselves on hand.

This year's summer concerts are sure to excite people of all ages. Deer Valley always has a great lineup, and Park City Mountain has shows too. Over in Eastern Summit County, High Star Ranch does free concerts on thursday nights. Just strolling Main Street—you're sure to catch a street performer. There is literally music everywhere in Park City! Check out Mountain Town Music for a full lineup!

There are several places in town that offer tours with equipment included. Check out our list of guided fly fishing providers to learn more about tours and what they offer!

Most of all Park City's trails are dried out by July making it one of the best times to get out and enjoy a hike. We are lucky to live in a place where we have access to a plethora of trails that highlight some of our best scenery from shady aspen groves, high alpine lakes, and wildflowers, to autumn leaves, wildlife, and epic views.

The Park City Museum is an award-winning museum and local staple full of surprises located on Historic Main Street.
