Rugby
On this Independence Day, enjoy America’s favorite sport, our national pastime-that’s right-RUGBY!

The Park City 4th of July 2018 Parade
Everyone loves a parade! This particular parade is a holiday highlight, starting at the top of Main Street at 11:00 a.m. and running all the way down to City Park by the afternoon. With great fanfare and more than 70 beautifully-crafted floats, this celebration of all things Park City and American wends its way along to the delight of the thousands of spectators who turn up every year.
In-Between

Notably, City Park will host hours of games and fun, including sack, wheelbarrow, and three-legged races for kids of all ages (including the grown-up variety).
