Park City & the Olympic Winter Games

The Winter Olympics stand apart as a global celebration of unity and the enduring spirit of winter sport. As a proud host venue for the 2002 XIX Winter Olympic Games, Park City continues to carry that legacy forward—championing international cooperation and world‑class competition. With existing venues like Utah Olympic Park, Deer Valley, and Park City Mountain embedded into the fabric of the community and global athletic heritage, Park City is once again preparing to welcome athletes from around the world for the XXVII Olympic Winter Games, also known as Utah 2034. Guided by community‑led initiatives and sustainability, Park City is ready to shine on the world stage once more.

Local Watch Parties & Olympic Activations

This winter, Park City is celebrating the Olympic Games with local watch parties and special activations happening throughout town. From lively Main Street gatherings to cozy spots perfect for catching every big moment, the community is coming together to cheer on the athletes, share in the excitement, and experience the Olympic spirit.

Looking to Milan-Cortina 

Park City isn’t the only community in the world to host Olympic events, and we’re proud to stand among many incredible mountain towns that share the privilege of welcoming athletes from across the globe. This year, the Winter Games return to Milan‑Cortina, Italy, and our community is buzzing with excitement to cheer on the athletes competing in the sports we live and love all winter long. 

Park City is especially proud to send several local athletes to the XXV Winter Olympic Games. Moguls skier Nick Page, speed skater Casey Dawson, and luge athlete Ashley Farquharson are all headed to their second Olympics. Joining them are first‑time Olympians Matthew Greiner (luge) and Troy Podmilsak (freestyle skiing), while Podmilsak’s teammate Alex Hall returns for his third Games. Part‑time Park City resident Lindsay Vonn will also compete in alpine skiing for Team USA at her fifth Olympic Games. 

Our community’s representation extends internationally as well—halfpipe skier Zoe Atkin will compete for Great Britain, and skier Winston Tang will represent Guinea‑Bissau.

Over 50 individuals from Park City, about 20% of Team USA’s Winter Athletes are from or have roots in Park City. And much of the existing infrastructure from the 2002 games is still in use today, hosting domestic and international athletes who travel to Park City to train and compete.  

You can find Park City’s Olympic legacy throughout town. Installations celebrate the 2002 games, and the Alf Engen Museum and George S. Eccles 2002 Olympic Legacy Museum at the Utah Olympic Park feature interactive displays, memorabilia, team uniforms and equipment, and an engaging wealth of information that memorializes the spirit and positivity of international cooperation! Both of these museums are free to the public and shouldn’t be missed the next time you visit Park City.
