Where To Find Park City Christmas Lights And Holiday Displays

Park City turns into a Hallmark Movie set every holiday season with its twinkling Christmas lights and snowy streets where the air smells of pine and hot cocoa, and every corner is draped in festive cheer. Perfect for a cozy date, a fun family outing, or a beautiful backdrop for the gram. For your holiday cheer, here’s a roundup of where you can view Christmas lights while on your ski vacation in Park City this Christmas.

Silver Sky Nights (Canyons Village)

Silver Nights Skys combines live music, festive treats, and spectacular fireworks to create a holiday atmosphere. The celebration begins as the sun sets at 4 pm with live performances on the Forum Stage, community Christmas Tree lighting, and ice carving demonstrations. The Christmas cheer comes to a spectacular close as a fireworks display lights up the night. The fireworks display will be on 20, 27, and 31 December. 

Park City Electric Parade (Main Street)

Join the festive spectacle with a glowing Park City holiday tradition. Main Street transforms into a dazzling light display each year, creating a Holiday Wonderland. The event is open to any vehicle that pre-registers with the City to join the parade. Expect a variety of creative, light-covered cars. Be sure to dress warm and arrive early to find parking. You can have a leisurely dinner on Main Street in one of their many restaurants.

Menorah Parade (Main Street)

This Hanukkah Parade was created during the pandemic as a safe way to gather for holiday celebrations. It has since become an annual tradition for those of Jewish descent in Park City. Each year, vehicles adorned with a menorah are escorted by police down Main Street and through the Park City area during Hanukkah. The parade ends at City Park, where celebrations continue with Hanukkah treats.

Deer Valley Christmas Lights

Deer Valley goes the extra mile every holiday season to make Christmas memorable. During December, Deer Valley Resort is lit up with Christmas lights, including the resort’s background, making the Deer Valley landscape one giant canvas for photos for social media. You don’t have to be a guest of the resort to participate in their two annual Christmas traditions:

🎅🎁 A visit from Santa Claus. Santa visits the Snow Park Lodge for half the day on Christmas Eve before heading to the mid-mountain Silver Lake Lodge area. During the visit, Santa will meet the children, take photos, and find out what the kids want for Christmas.

🔦⛷️The Torchlight Parade. At dusk on Big Stick ski run, 50-75 skiers strap torches to the end of bamboo poles and weave their way down Bald Eagle Mountain in perfect unison. After the parade, continue the festivities at the Snow Park Plaza, where complimentary hot chocolate, cider, and cookies will be available.

Snowglobe Stroll (Main Street)

Each year, artists are invited to design and decorate the inside of seven life-sized snow globes for the holidays. Each year has a central theme that encourages visitors to participate in the festive spirit. The snow globes are stationed along Main Street and are fully interactive, responding just like real-life snow globes. While they can be enjoyed both during the day and at night, they truly come to life with the added magic of holiday lights.
