Sundance Film Festival relocation to Boulder

Overview

The Sundance Film Festival has announced it will relocate from Park City, Utah, to Boulder, Colorado, for its 2027 edition. Scheduled for January 21–31, 2027, the festival will utilize a walkable downtown footprint featuring venues such as the Macky Auditorium and the Pearl Street pedestrian mall. Upgrades include advanced sound and projection systems, an expanded film program, and the revival of the ‘New Frontier’ section to highlight technology-forward projects.

This transition is supported by Colorado Governor Jared Polis and involves coordination between the Sundance Institute, Visit Boulder, and the University of Colorado. In the interim, Boulder is set to host various other cultural events in September 2026, including the Sans Souci Festival of Dance Cinema, the Community Roots Art Festival, the Mapleton Hill Porch Fest, and the Jaipur Literature Festival.
