Transportation

Leave early, plan ahead and make sure you add travel time into your schedule if you are going to Park City. The parking situation near Salt Lake venues and Sundance Resort is easy to understand but it is very busy on festival days.

But the parking around Park City is a no-fun-zone. You will not find any parking in the area so it will be a waste of time if you go on your own transport.

Lucky for you, the organization knows how much of a hassle this entire scenario is which is why the Sundance Film Festival bus schedule is issued for the ease of the visitors. You will be traveling on a shuttle which won’t cost a thing and brings more fun to the plate once you have arrived at Park City.

You can park your car either at Ecker Hill Park and Ride at 2500 Kilby Road or Richardson Flat Park and Ride because both of these parking lots are the nearest to the Park City’s largest venue, Eccles Theater. Parking is also free at the mentioned parking lots which are why we suggest you park your vehicle there and then you can take a free shuttle and begin your journey around the venues.

You will also find volunteers at every shuttle stop to help you out with your locations and guide you further. All the Park City venues have been mentioned below and the Park City bus schedule Sundance will be available to you daily on your mobile application.

You will also find other parking options around Park City but that will cost you a lot. However, if you are watching your movies at Salt Lake City, these venues are easy to park at but not completely effortless because of the extreme rush.

If you want to find a parking space, you must plan and arrive early if you don’t want to lose time while looking for a parking spot.

The following are the venues of Salt Lake City. Once the institute issues the Sundance 2021 schedule, you can decide which venue you will be going to and how will you be able to manage your time.
