PARK CITY, Utah – Main Street is decked out for the holidays as Historic Park City kicks off a December packed with festive traditions, artistic installations, and community gatherings. From life-sized snow globes dotting the historic downtown to live performances at The Egyptian Theatre, the Historic Park City Alliance (HPCA) has curated a full month of activities designed to bring the community together and welcome visitors into the heart of the season.

“Historic Park City is bustling with shoppers, families, and friends gathering to find the perfect gift or share a cherished tradition,” said Ginger Wicks, Executive Director of the Historic Park City Alliance. “From book signings with local authors, a special shopping night out designed just for men, and a variety of Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, Main Street is truly the holiday destination for memory making.”

This month’s events and specials in Historic Park City include:

Silver & Snow holiday window display contest

Kenneth Peloke at Gallery MAR

A drifter is one who travels or moves about aimlessly, an apt description for both the artist Kenneth Peloke and the wild characters he paints. Inclined to wander creatively since childhood, Peloke now finds himself drawn to animals who do the same. While practical concerns led him to choose a career in graphic design, the sea of change that is fatherhood allowed him to rediscover the drifter-artist within.
