The Park Silly Market served as a summer tradition in Park City, transforming Main Street into an open-air celebration of art, food, music, and community. The event functioned as a free, eco-friendly street festival that showcased local musicians, artists, and vendors.
The market was held annually from June to September on Sundays between 10 AM and 5 PM. It took place on lower Main Street, typically located between Heber Avenue and 9th Street. Visitors were encouraged to bike, walk, or take the free City Bus to the event. Free parking was available at Park City High School, while limited parking was located in the Old Town region and the China Bridge parking structure.
During the event, over 175 rotating artisans offered handmade goods including jewelry, clothing, pottery, and original artwork. The festival included a farmers' market section with fresh produce from local farmers, a beer garden, and a Bloody Mary Bar known as Park Swilly. Food options included various food trucks and stalls serving items such as tamales, wood-fired pizzas, and crepes.
Entertainment at the market included live music, magicians, stilt walkers, and belly dancers. For children, the market provided activities such as a rock-climbing wall, inflatable bounce houses, face painting, and the Artist for the Week program. The event was also dog-friendly, provided pets were kept on a leash.
Beyond the market, the Arts Council of Park City & Summit County supported the region's creative community through various events including gallery strolls, theater productions, and film screenings. Other local summer activities included the Latino Arts Festival at Canyons Village, Art on Trails, and the Summit Arts Market in Oakley, Utah.
