Silly Sunday in Park City, Utah, Park City, Utah

After a two and a half day road trip we finally made it to Park City. We have a special love of this place for all kinds of reasons; the beauty, the climate, and fond memories of time spent here. That love exists both in the summer and the winter.

Our first full day was a Sunday. In Park City, throughout the summer, each Sunday Main Street closes down to vehicle traffic and a market opens up. It is called “Park Silly Sunday Market.”

Loved the local artists and artisans that filled the market. There were some yummy treats right next to beautiful artist’s work.

What other town has Rolex sponsor their town clock? There are great shops all up and down Main Street, as well as established art galleries. Most of the best restaurants are only open for dinner. There are still a lot of fun choices that serve breakfast and lunch.

Like a lot of mountain towns, Park City takes advantage of the summer months to show of the quaintness and beauty of their town. There were hanging baskets and flowers everywhere!

Found some more family! At great shot looking down on Main Street. It was a very busy day but the weather was beautiful so we were happy to be enjoying the town.

The area around Park City was an old mining area, mainly silver but also gold and lead. After the great depression the mining industry in the area never fully recovered. Following that Park City and Deer Valley became more known for the skiing and today is a premiere spot for all winter sports. We think the summer is pretty great as well. ......
