Here comes September! What's happening in Park City this month?

September is one of the most underrated times to visit Park City, Utah, as the town transitions from the lively summer season into the quieter beauty of early fall. The weather is crisp but comfortable, perfect for exploring the outdoors without the intense summer heat or winter chill. Days average in the 60s and 70s, making it ideal for hiking, biking, or strolling historic Main Street. Plus, the summer crowds have thinned, giving you more breathing room to enjoy the town’s galleries, shops, and restaurants.  

Nature truly puts on a show in September, with the mountainsides beginning to turn gold, orange, and red as the aspens and maples change color. This makes for stunning scenic drives along Guardsman Pass or Mirror Lake Highway, as well as unforgettable photography opportunities. It’s also a prime time for wildlife spotting, with deer, moose, and even elk more active in the cooler mornings and evenings. Outdoor enthusiasts can take advantage of well-maintained trails at nearby resorts or in the surrounding Uinta and Wasatch mountain ranges.

Culturally, September in Park City offers a unique blend of seasonal events and a laid-back mountain-town atmosphere. You might catch a local farmers market, outdoor concert, or art fair before the season wraps up. Many restaurants also feature special harvest menus, highlighting fresh local ingredients. Combined with the stunning scenery and pleasant weather, these events make September a perfect time to experience Park City at a slower, more intimate pace—right before the bustle of ski season returns.
