One of my favorite things to do in Park City during the summer is spend some time on the lake. With or without a boat, it’s always a good time for everyone in the family! From tanning to swimming to paddle boarding, the Jordanelle Reservoir offers nothing but fun! And on July 19th, the Fire on the Water event calls for non-stop entertainment! The event begins at 2 pm, and Jordanelle has an entrance fee of $17 per car(up to 8 people in each car). Enjoy the sun for a few hours; there will be food, games, music, a place for the kids to play, and a hot dog eating contest! At dusk, there is a parade across the lake of over 50 boats! Then, a spectacular firework display at 10!
At Abode Park City, we want your summer to be as enjoyable as possible. After all, that’s what summer is for: fun!
In our last post we mentioned that Park City is home to multiple outdoor shows. Besides Deer Valley, the Canyons also hosts a series of concerts in the summer! The free concerts during the Canyons Concert Series are the best for gathering friends and family. You can either sit back on a blanket and relax or get up and dance to the music! The environment is so friendly and captures all the best parts of Park City: the culture, the variety, and the liveliness! Look around and you will see people excited about life! In the outdoor amphitheater at the Canyons Resort there is a playground area for kids, so feel free to bring the whole family! Sit back and soak up the Park City Lifestyle.
Part of what makes a vacation in Park City, Utah so amazing is the authentic experience visitors have in this small mountain town. These unique experiences aren’t limited to the winter. In the summer Park City is host to an amazing series of Deer Valley outdoor concerts. There are other awesome outdoor concert venues as well but for this post we’ll focus on Deer Valley.
Deer Valley hosts three different outdoor summer concert series at the Snow Park base where they have an amazing band shell erected facing back to the slopes and surrounded every night by a spectacular sunset. Concert enthusiasts have a choice between concerts put on by The Big Stars Bright Night series, The Deer Valley Music Festival Series or the free Mountain Town Music series. Below is more information on each of these series along with links to each of their online schedules and ticket booking systems.
The Big Stars, Bright Nights concert series at the Deer Valley amphitheater showcases well-known talent that is sure to put on a great show. Dierks Bentley, Kix Brooks, the entire cast from the show Nashville, and Vince Gill (among others) will help you get in touch with your “country” side! A guaranteed fun time, you can even bring a picnic and view from the lawn area!
– View the full schedule of concerts lined up for the rest of the summer.
– Ticket prices range depending on the concert and if you would rather sit in low chairs up close to the stage in the VIP area or if you are more comfortable in the open seating area where everyone brings blankets and lounges out under the stars.
The Deer Valley Music Festival takes place on some Fridays and Saturdays can show you more of a variety of styles and genres, from symphonic to classic rock. The Deer Valley Music Festival schedule is available here online.
Deer Valley also hosts free concerts every Wednesday! See the schedule for the free concerts where everyone is welcome to bring a blanket and picnic to relax and enjoy the gorgeous mountain surroundings while taking in great music, good friends and libations on the grass.
Park City, Utah is the perfect place to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including snowboarding, skiing, bobsledding, sleigh riding, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Home of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City has it all.
It also boasts one of the most impressive arrays of winter vacation rentals Utah has to offer, from cozy to palatial. Guests who want their every need catered to during their stay can choose our concierge rental service. Abode Park City specializes in connecting guests with transportation, groceries, and lift tickets while providing them luxury winter vacation rentals throughout Deer Valley and Park City.
At some point, though, we know you’ll want to get off the slopes and have something to eat. Unlike many ski resort areas — which provide excellent sporting opportunities but hold guests hostage with substandard food — Park City offers exceptionally fine dining. Several of the restaurants here are run by chefs with international reputations, and even the locally-owned places offer panache. Here is a list of five great Park City restaurants that we recommend to visitors looking for a great dining experience.
This downtown restaurant, run by chef Michael LeClerc, offers elegant “new American” cuisine in a casual setting. One half of the menu offers food that is rich in antioxidants and low in fat and calories; the other half is more traditional fare. We love the “tower of ahi and hamachi,” an appetizer composed of caviar, pineapple shoyu, and a wasabi-enriched sauce.
Zane Holmquist is the chef at this Stein Eriksen Lodge restaurant, located in the Deer Valley ski resort. The place is known for its lavish Sunday brunch, but you can also enjoy specialties like Stein’s Wild Game Chili, Elk Carpaccio, and fondue. The wine cellar holds 10,000 bottles — a vintage for even the rarest taste.
Located in the Hotel Park City and offering stunning views of the Wasatch Mountains to visitors while they dine, Ruth’s Chris Steak House offers visual treats like its Chop Salad and, of course, a full menu of steak options, including cowboy ribeye, filet and porterhouse. Kids with developed palates will be intrigued by the Lobster Mac and Cheese, and the restaurant has a romantic ambiance for couples.
Located on Main Street, Park City, Cafe Terigo specializes in food from Northern Italy and Southern France. Owner and Head Chef Ed Axtell has built a loyal clientele by offering a hospitable atmosphere, great service, and superb cuisine. We enjoyed the Duck Confit and Roasted Grapes and Veal Bolognese — elegant takes on our favorite comfort foods.
Also on Main Street, Wahso Asian Grill is an inviting space with dining alcoves that afford some privacy from the hubbub of this popular restaurant. Wahso is a great place for people-watching during the Sundance Festival, when the place is packed. Artifacts from throughout Asian make the atmosphere unique, and the menu combines traditional Asian favorites, like potstickers and Forbidden Tofu, with Red Curry Lamb Shank and Crab Crusted Salmon.
Park City is again lucky to be part of the Tour of Utah bike race this year. The race is held August 6th through 11th and covers 586 miles and 43,621 vertical feet of climbing. The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah started from the Southern Utah town of Brian Head on Tuesday, August 6th for its ninth run. At nearly 3,000 meters of elevation, Brian Head had the highest elevation start of any race in the US. The elevation and expected heat combined to support the race’s claim that it is America’s toughest stage race.
For the first time in the race’s history, the route began in Southern Utah and headed north toward Salt Lake City. The race will finish at Snowbird Ski Area and Summer resort. Once again, the route of the final stage climbs through the scenic Wolf Creek Ranch, crosses the Heber Valley through Heber City and Midway before winding its way to the base of Empire Pass. This climb should witness another all-out assault by the pure climbers to see who the real King of the Mountains will be in this year’s race. Following a blistering descent down the 11 percent mine road they climbed one day earlier, the race will again finish in front of massive crowds on lower Main Street in Park City.
This race draws lots of visitors to Park City. It’s a great weekend to come to town to enjoy the breezy mountain air and one of the greatest cycling events in the world.

With the great weather that Park City summers always serve up it’s no wonder there are so many evening outdoor concert options for visitors and locals to love!
In previous posts we’ve mentioned the great Deer Valley Outdoor Concert Series a couple times but there are a few other options to explore as well. One of those options is the Hops on the Hill which takes place every Tuesday this July. The fun weekly event takes place on the lawn at Stein Eriksen Lodge in Deer Valley. There will be a total of five Tuesday evening craft beer tasting events. Attendees have a chance to sample locally made beer with interesting and delicious food pairings created by Chef Zane Holmquist. The beer tasting begins at 6pm and goes until 7:30pm.
And if that’s not enough for you – the events also feature a free concert from 7pm to 9pm.
Full Tasting Tickets are $30 plus tax ($15 food, $15 beer). To make advance reservations call 435-645-6455. Guests must be 21+ to attend the event. The ticket price includes beer samples, food, and a souvenir glass. This is a fabulous way to enjoy a beautiful Deer Valley evening!
In our previous posts on the abode Park City blog we’ve touted the greatness of the Deer Valley Outdoor Concerts
We truly hope that if you are in Park City during the summer you take the time to experience these great evening events.
July 4th is around the corner and along with all the wonderful festivities that take place here in Park City for the Independence Celebration – Deer Valley will be hosting Los Lobos, Los Lonely Boys and Alejandro Escovedo for what is sure to be a tremendous night of music. If you’ve got your tickets and are ready to go – all you need now is a picnic basket! Some people opt to get fancy pre-made baskets from places like Deer Valley Signatures or the Waldorf Astoria. These fancy baskets are truly amazing and a great treat you have to try at least once.
Or maybe you’ll pack your own picnic…if so we suggest you bring – at the very least – the following list of items:
– Wine
– Plastic wine glasses
– Blankets (one or two to lay on and one to put over you if it gets cool when the sun goes down)
– Napkins
– Bottled water
– Small cheese board
– A couple yummy cheeses
– Crackers
– Some grapes or other fruit
Of course you can also pull together more elaborate foods if you’re with a group and want to make a dinner under the stars out of the whole deal…if that’s the case – here’s a great appetizer recipe that’s easy to prepare, serve and eat at an outdoor concert (this is a tried and true recipe we’ve used at this venue many times)
Here’s what you need:
– a package of toothpicks
– a package of grape tomatoes
– one container of small round mozzarella balls (often labeled bocconcini)
– fresh basil
– one small stick of pepperoni
– one jar of olives
All you have to do now is cut the tomatoes, olives and mozzarella balls in half and slice the salami. Rinse the basil and pull the leaves off the stems. Then assemble the pieces onto the toothpicks in any order as you see fit (sometimes making them all different is fun). Throw the assembled sticks into a tupperware container and off you go to the concert with a healthy (veggies, protien, dairy all included) and yummy treat to share with your neighbors out on the beautiful lawn at Deer Valley! Enjoy!!!!
