Things To Do In Park City In July

To start July off with a bang, the Fourth of July celebration and parade in Park City is the best place to start.

Park City's Fourth of July Celebration is Saturday, July 4, 2026. The day kicks off with a 5k fun run, the parade at 11:00 a.m., games and gathering in City Park, and will culminate with a drone show at Park City Mountain. Not sure where to watch the drone show from? Park City Mountain is best. You should also have a good view of the show from Park City Golf Course, City Park, and Lower Main Street.

The Fourth of July holiday is a busy time in Park City. The best way to get to and see events is to walk, take the bus, or ride your bike, as parking is limited throughout town.

The Forum Fest at Canyons Village in Park City is returning for its fifth year! From Thursday, July 2 – Saturday, July 4, Canyons Village at Park City Mountain welcomes back its free multi-day festival for locals and visitors. Known as one of the best Independence Day celebrations in Park City, the three-day celebration will feature themed decorations and public art displays throughout the village, nightly fireworks, drone shows, headliner concerts, kids' activities, and much more!

As a key strategy for improving transportation sustainability in Park City and a better guest experience for all, Canyons Village encourages Forum Fest guests to use public transit this year, including the free bus system, bike valet, Summit bike share, carpool, and more.

Most of all, Park City's singletrack is dry out by July (some of the high-elevation trails take a bit longer), making it one of the best times to get out and enjoy a hike, run, or ride. Park City has an incredible network of 400+ miles of trails that wind through town and connect our neighboring communities. And with an abundance of wildflowers, running streams, alpine views, and magnificent green foliage—the early summer aesthetic in Park City is not something you want to miss.

With tens of trailheads dotting town, it's easy to grab a short loop and link it up with another activity like a summer concert, drinks with friends, the Park Silly Sunday Market, or a bite to eat. Check out Park City's trail map for ideas of where to start!
