PARK CITY, Utah — Sundance Film Festival brings a whole new dynamic to Park City, especially Historic Old Town. Restaurants and shops are turned into lounges and private clubs seemingly overnight. The Park City Area Restaurant Association makes it easy to navigate grabbing a bite to eat with the list below. And for those who steer clear of Main Street during Sundance, there’s an ‘Off Main’ section, too.

“Sundance brings a rush of energy and an influx of guests to Park City, and our restaurants are ready to keep the community nourished for the duration of the 11-day festival,” Park City Area Restaurant Association Executive Director Ginger Wicks said. “While some will be closed for private events, many will be ‘business as usual’ to fuel our loyal locals and hungry film buffs in search of their next unforgettable meal.”
