PARK CITY, Utah — Park City celebrated its 130th Miners Day on September 1, honoring the town’s deep mining heritage with a full day of festivities.

The tradition kicked off with the annual fun run and a hearty community pancake breakfast before crowds lined Main Street for the parade.

Later, locals and visitors gathered at City Park for games and the signature mucking and drilling competition, a nod to the hard-rock miners who built the town’s legacy.

The Miners Day Celebration remains Park City’s longest-running event, a tradition spanning more than a century that continues to bring the community together each Labor Day.
