The sun drops behind the Wasatch ridgeline and the sky goes gold and rose. Down at the Amphitheatre, the stage starts to glow against the mountain. The crowd settles in — blankets spread, jackets on, that clean high-altitude chill in the air. Then the music starts. This is Concerts on the Slopes, and from Canyon Haus you’re a three-minute walk away.

The 2026 season runs July 10 through August 29 — eleven shows across seven weeks, including two themed multi-night weekends and a lineup that spans soul, Southern rock, 80s pop, reggae, country, and alt-rock. Whether you’re planning your stay around a specific night or just want to know what’s happening while you’re here, here’s everything you need.

🏔️ What Is Concerts on the Slopes?

Concerts on the Slopes is a ticketed outdoor summer music series held at the Amphitheatre at Canyons Village, produced by Park City Performing Arts — a Utah nonprofit that’s been putting on world-class shows since 1998. Shows are held on select Fridays, Saturdays, and occasional Thursdays in July and August, with gates opening at 6:15 PM and most performances starting at 7:00 PM.

The venue itself is an outdoor grass bowl carved into the base of the ski mountain at 4000 Canyons Resort Drive — between the Red Pine Gondola and the Orange Bubble Express lift, directly across from the Grand Summit. No gondola or lift required to get there. It’s at ground level, flat, and an easy walk from Canyon Haus.

🎵 The Full 2026 Lineup

Eleven shows. Seven weeks. Two themed weekends. Here’s the complete picture — all shows at 7:00 PM, gates open 6:15 PM.

Lineup subject to change. Always confirm at parkcityinstitute.org before you travel.

🎸 80s Weekend — July 24–26

Three consecutive nights built around artists who defined a decade. If you want the full Forum Fest experience but with a tighter musical theme and a more intimate venue, the 80s Weekend is it. Here’s who’s on stage:

🎸 Friday, July 24

38 Special

Fifty years in, 38 Special is still playing over 100 shows a year. The Southern rock institution behind “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up in You” opens the 80s Weekend with a full-throttle hook-heavy set. Their 2026 tour supports Milestone, their first studio album in over two decades. This is exactly how you kick off a three-night run.

🎵 Saturday, July 25

Taylor Dayne & Exposé

Two of the era’s most iconic acts sharing one stage. Taylor Dayne launched with “Tell It to My Heart” in 1987 and racked up 17 Top 20 singles and 75 million records sold. Joining her is Exposé — the first act ever to score four Top 10 hits from a debut album. Saturday night at the Amphitheatre, mountain backdrop, these two? That’s a night people talk about.

🎶 Sunday, July 26

Sawyer Brown

Sawyer Brown closes out the 80s Weekend with four decades of high-energy, grassroots live performance behind them. They burst onto the national scene winning Star Search and never looked back — country storytelling with rock-and-roll swagger that translates perfectly to an outdoor mountain stage. The right band to send a weekend off on a high note.

🤠 Country Weekend — August 6–8

Three consecutive evenings of authentic country at one of Utah’s most beautiful outdoor venues. The full artist lineup will be confirmed at the official Park City Performing Arts site — what we can tell you is the format mirrors the 80s Weekend: three nights, building energy, and a crowd that comes back all three evenings.

Country music and mountain settings are a natural pairing. Wide open sky, clean air, honest storytelling — it all just works. Book your stay early. Country Weekend trips tend to fill fast.

🚌 Getting There in 2026

One important update before you plan: the Cabriolet lift is closed this summer and the parking garage is out of service during construction. Here are your real options for getting to the Amphitheatre:

Canyon Haus guests don’t need any of this. The Amphitheatre is a 3-minute flat walk from the front door. Walk to the show, walk home, be in the hot tub while others are waiting for their Lyft.

🎒 What to Bring

Mountain evenings in Park City move fast. It’s 80°F at noon and 58°F by 9 PM — that swing happens the moment the sun clears the ridge. Come prepared and the evening is perfect. Come underprepared and you’re spending the second set shivering.

📅 What a Concert Weekend Looks Like from Canyon Haus

One of the best arguments for staying right here is how seamlessly the show fits into a full mountain day. Here’s how a typical concert night runs when you’re three minutes from the stage:

🏔️ Book Your Concert Season Base Camp

Canyon Haus sits 730 feet from the Amphitheatre — a 3-minute flat walk along village paths. All units include access to the heated outdoor pool, hot tubs, fire pits, fitness center, ski valet, and 24/7 front desk. Pick your configuration below and check your dates.

🎆 Starting Early? Don’t Miss Forum Fest (July 2–4)

Concerts on the Slopes opens July 10, but Canyons Village’s summer music starts a week earlier. Forum Fest is a free three-day 4th of July celebration with nightly headliners, a drone show above the Wasatch peaks, a kids zone, food and drinks, and a mechanical bull. It’s a completely different energy from the ticketed concert series — bigger crowd, free admission, full holiday weekend atmosphere.

Combine Forum Fest weekend with a Concerts on the Slopes show the following week and you’ve built yourself nearly two weeks of mountain entertainment without leaving Canyons Village. Canyon Haus is steps from both.

Picture the last light dropping behind the Wasatch peaks. Hundreds of drones rising in formation above the ridgeline. A few thousand people on blankets and low-back chairs, cold drinks in hand, headliner about to take the stage. No ticket. No shuttle line. Just walk out the door.

That’s what Forum Fest looks like from Canyon Haus. Now in its fifth year, the event has become Park City’s signature 4th of July tradition — a free, three-day outdoor music festival hosted at the Forum at Canyons Village. We’re right there. And the 2026 lineup is the strongest it’s been yet.

🎪 What Is Forum Fest?

Forum Fest is a free outdoor celebration held every 4th of July weekend by the Canyons Village Management Association (CVMA). Three nights of national headliners, a nightly drone show, family activities, food and drinks — all of it free to attend. Here’s what fills the weekend:

📅 2026 Schedule at a Glance

Forum Fest runs Thursday through Saturday, July 2–4. The venue opens at 4 PM each evening. The Frostwood Gondola opens earlier on July 3 and 4 — worth noting if you want to ride up before the evening rush.

Schedule subject to change.

🎤 The 2026 Headliners

Three nights, three completely different vibes. Here’s who’s taking the stage.

🎸 Night 1 · Thursday, July 2

Allen Stone

Grammy-nominated soul and R&B artist with deep roots in gospel, folk-rock, and classic funk. Allen Stone built his name touring 200 nights a year and has since shared stages with Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, and Dave Matthews Band. His live performances hit differently under an open mountain sky — the kind of set that makes opening night feel like the main event.

🎸 Night 2 · Friday, July 3

Rick Springfield

Five decades. A multi-Platinum catalog. One of rock’s most iconic #1 hits in “Jessie’s Girl.” Rick Springfield plays the night before the 4th — and his 2026 tour delivers full-band energy with fan favorites and deep cuts that keep the crowd locked in from first song to last. The night before Independence Day, in this setting, with this crowd. It’s going to be loud.

🎸 Night 3 · Saturday, July 4

Dylan Scott

Country music under a mountain sky on the 4th of July. Six No. 1 singles into a career built on authentic storytelling, Dylan Scott closes out Forum Fest 2026. His recent back-to-back chart-toppers and current single “What He’ll Never Have” make for a setlist that earns every bit of applause. There’s no better way to end a 4th of July weekend.

🚌 Getting There in 2026 — Read This First

A heads-up before you plan: the Cabriolet lift and its parking structure are both closed this summer during construction. Canyons Village surface lots are restricted to vehicles with 3 or more occupants. If you’re driving as a couple or solo, the lot will turn you away. Here are your real options:

Canyon Haus guests don’t have to think about any of this. Walk out the front door and you’re at the venue.

🗺️ Can You Do Both? Main Street + Forum Fest

Yes — and it’s easier than you’d think. The two celebrations happen at completely different times of day. Main Street runs its parade and festivities through the morning and early afternoon. Forum Fest opens at 4 PM. No overlap.

A solid July 4th from Canyon Haus: catch the Main Street parade in the morning via the free Park City Transit, come back for lunch and a rest, then walk over to the Forum stage in the afternoon for the opening acts and activities before the headliner. You get both. No car required.

🎒 What to Bring — and What to Leave Home

Chairs or blankets left unattended for more than 10 minutes will be moved to Lost & Found. Event policies subject to change.

🔥 After the Music: Your Basecamp Is Right There

When the drone show fades and the crowd starts moving, Canyon Haus guests have exactly zero logistics to deal with. Walk back, drop your layers, and make the call: one more round at the fire pits, a late swim, or a solid night’s sleep before tomorrow’s headliner.

The heated outdoor pool stays open late. The fire pits are already going. The grab-and-go market is right there. This is what it looks like to be in the right place for a long weekend — not commuting through it.

🏔️ Book Your Forum Fest Base Camp

Canyon Haus has room configurations for every group, from a couples getaway to a full family spread. All units include access to the heated pool, hot tubs, fire pits, fitness center, ski valet, and 24/7 front desk. July 2–4 fills fast — check your dates below.

Canyons Village Update

Vail Resorts Announces $29/Day Parking at Canyons Village for the 2026/27 Ski Season

The Canyons Village Parking Structure is being completed this fall — and with it comes a brand-new parking plan designed to make your arrival smoother, your mornings less stressful, and your first run earlier. Here’s everything you need to know about parking at Canyons Village next winter, including rates, free options, and how to skip the car entirely.

🅿️ 2026/27 Canyons Village Parking Structure: Rates at a Glance

Vail Resorts and Park City Mountain have released the parking plan for the completed Canyons Village Parking Structure. The new plan balances paid structured parking with several free options — including afternoon and carpool parking — to accommodate a wide range of guests.

🏗️ What the Completed Parking Structure Changes

The Canyons Village Parking Structure has been years in the making, and the completed facility marks a real turning point for how guests arrive at the mountain. Built in phases — with the first two levels open this past winter — the full structure replaces the patchwork of scattered surface lots that have long defined the Canyons Village arrival experience.

🚌 Skip the Parking Fees — Take the Bus for Free

If you’d rather skip parking altogether, Park City’s public transit system makes it easy — and it’s completely free. Two transit providers serve Canyons Village from multiple points across the region:

Park City Transit and High Valley Transit (HVT) — Summit County’s fare-free regional service — both offer convenient routes throughout the Wasatch Back. Full schedules and route maps are available at allseasonsresortlodging.com.

🏠 Staying at Canyon Haus? You’re Already Ahead.

If you’re a Canyon Haus guest, you likely won’t need the village garage at all.

Free underground parking is included with every Canyon Haus stay. Your car stays in our garage, and from there you can walk to Canyons Village, access the Canyons Village Skyway gondola mid-station right outside our door, or catch the Route 105 shuttle to the Transit Hub and village center — all without moving your car or paying a daily rate.

For guests who are driving in for the day or coordinating with friends arriving separately, the $29 structure rate and the free afternoon/carpool options give you plenty of flexibility.

📅 More Details Coming Late Summer 2026

Additional specifics — including payment logistics, seasonal pass pricing, and winter parking plans for both Mountain Village and Canyons Village — will be released in late summer 2026. We’ll update this post as more information becomes available.

Swap those ski boots for dancing shoes — the Canyons Village Spring Concert Series is back. 🎵

Every Saturday afternoon in March and April, free live music takes over the Canyons Village stage from 3–5 p.m. Brought to you by Kona Big Wave, it’s the perfect way to close out a day on the mountain: cold drink in hand, great music in the air, and the Wasatch Range as your backdrop.

And from Canyon Haus, you’re steps from the stage. 🎿➡️🎶

🗓️ 2025 Spring Concert Schedule

All shows are free to attend, held on the Canyons Village stage, 3–5 p.m. Schedule subject to change.

🎿 Ski It. Then Hear It.

Spring is one of the best-kept secrets in Park City. The crowds thin out, the snow softens into perfect corn conditions, the sun stays out longer — and now there’s live music waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain every Saturday.

The concert stage at Canyons Village is a short walk from Canyon Haus. Ski in, drop your gear, grab a Kona Big Wave, and let the afternoon take care of itself.

🔥 After the Show: Your Basecamp Awaits

When the music winds down, Canyon Haus is right where you left it — heated outdoor pool, fire pits, and a place to kick back and relive every run and every riff from the day.

Spring weekends at Canyons Village don’t get better than this. Book your stay and make the whole weekend a mountain story worth telling.

Canyons Village Update

The Cabriolet Is Being Replaced — Here’s What’s Coming

Big things are happening at Canyons Village, and we want to make sure you’re in the loop before your next trip. The iconic open-air Cabriolet lift that runs right past Canyon Haus is being replaced with a brand-new, fully enclosed gondola — and the upgrade is significant. Here’s everything you need to know about the Canyons Village Skyway, what’s changing, and how it affects your stay.

🚡 Meet the Canyons Village Skyway

Park City Mountain has announced the Canyons Village Skyway — a brand-new 10-person enclosed gondola that will replace the Cabriolet lift. This isn’t just a cosmetic upgrade. The Skyway is a full reimagining of how guests move through the village, and for anyone staying at Canyon Haus, this is a significant quality-of-life improvement right outside our door.

🏗️ The Parking Structure Gets Its Final Phase Too

Alongside the Skyway, construction resumes this spring on the final three levels of the Canyons Village Parking Structure, developed by TCFC (the Canyons Village master developer). The first two levels opened successfully this past winter, and once the full structure is complete, it will meaningfully change how guests arrive at the village:

📅 What to Expect During Construction (Spring & Summer 2026)

Construction on both the Skyway and the final parking structure levels begins March 30, 2026. Here’s what that means practically if you’re visiting Canyon Haus during the construction window:

🏠 What This Means for Canyon Haus Guests

Canyon Haus sits right along the Cabriolet corridor — it’s literally one of the first things you see when you arrive. The Skyway will run in the same footprint, which means once it opens, the view from our building and the Cabriolet’s signature visibility are being upgraded, not eliminated.

Here’s the most important thing to know: construction doesn’t affect anything at Canyon Haus. You can still walk to Canyons Village center just like always, or hop the Route 105 shuttle to the Canyons Village Transit Hub or village center — free, easy, no car required. Ski valet, underground parking for Canyon Haus guests, and all on-site amenities remain fully operational throughout.

If you have questions about your specific travel dates or want to know the fastest route to the snow, stop by the front desk or give us a call — we’re on-site 24/7 and always have the latest on what’s happening across the village.
