Just more than a week before Sundance 2025 kicks off, the resort town has made the long-desired decision to make Park City ‘s often-congested Main Street car-free for the duration of the festival, which runs January 23-Feburary 2.

Park City’s Main Street will be closed to cars during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It’s the first road closing of this kind in the event’s history.

Park City will close much of Main Street to vehicular traffic during the opening days of the Sundance Film Festival.

Park City Film regularly showcases films at the Park City Library’s Jim Santy Auditorium. During Sundance, however, the auditorium is used to screen festival films. Park City Film Executive Director Katy Wang said the changeover is pretty seamless.
