The Sundance Film Festival will move to Boulder, Colorado, in 2027 after over 40 years in Park City, Utah. The decision was made after a year-long process of evaluating different cities, with Boulder being chosen for its small-town charm, engaged community, natural beauty, and vibrant arts scene. Finalist cities included Cincinnati, Ohio, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
The festival plans to use Boulder’s downtown theaters and venues as the focal point of the event, with potential use of spaces around Pearl Street Mall, a pedestrian-only street. Boulder Mayor Aaron Brockett expressed excitement in welcoming the festival, stating that Sundance’s independent and creative spirit aligns well with Boulder’s inclusive culture.
Sundance Institute Board Chair Ebs Burnough highlighted the strong proposals and commitment from all finalist cities, thanking them for their efforts in the selection process. Park City Mayor Nann Worel has not yet commented on the move.
The move to Boulder marks a new chapter for the renowned film festival, with organizers looking forward to a long and creative partnership with the city. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
