The Park City Performing Arts Foundation has transitioned to its new name, Park City Performing Arts, as it continues to manage two distinct performance series for residents and visitors in Summit County. The nonprofit organization, which was founded in 1998, remains dedicated to bringing world-class performances and innovative ideas to the local community through various musical and theatrical productions.
Mission and Series Structure
The organization operates as a 501c3 nonprofit entity, focusing on introducing emerging artists and welcoming celebrated musicians to the Park City area. According to information from Showpass, the group's programming is split into two primary series: Concerts on the Slopes and the Winter Series held at the Eccles Center.
Through these series, Park City Performing Arts aims to create opportunities for the community to engage with provocative, thoughtful, and creative minds. The organization's reach includes both local residents and seasonal visitors to Summit County.
Summer Performance Schedule
The summer schedule for the Concerts on the Slopes series includes several high-profile musical events scheduled at 4000 Canyons Resort Drive. On Saturday, July 25, 2026, the organization is hosting an 80s Weekend featuring Taylor Dayne and Exposé, with ticket prices ranging from $11.85 to $150.85.
The momentum for summer performances continues into late July and August. On Sunday, July 26, 2026, the 80s Weekend lineup features Sawyer Brown. The upcoming August schedule includes a performance by Boney James on Aug. 1, followed by two country-themed events: Mark Chesnutt on Aug. 6 and Lonestar on Aug. 7.
Memberships and Season Passes
In addition to individual event tickets, Park City Performing Arts offers various membership options and season passes for its patrons. For the 2026 season, a Concerts on the Slopes Season Pass is available for $572.
General memberships within the organization range in price from $57 to $1,035.50. These tiers allow supporters to engage more deeply with the foundation's mission of providing high-quality entertainment and artistic engagement in the region.
County Cultural Support
The cultural landscape of Summit County is supported by various financial mechanisms, including the RAP Tax Cultural Grant. This grant program, managed by Summit County, serves as a resource for cultural initiatives within the region.
While specific details regarding current grant recipients were not provided in the recent county announcement, the existence of the RAP Tax Cultural Grant underscores the ongoing administrative support for the arts and cultural programming throughout the county.
Future Outlook
As Park City Performing Arts moves forward under its updated name, it maintains its long-standing presence in the community established over nearly three decades of operation. The organization continues to utilize platforms like Showpass to manage event logistics and ticket sales for its diverse array of musical and theatrical offerings.
