Salt Lake City’s Big Blue Ox will perform on Aug. 30, as part of the Thursday night concert series at Canyons Village.
Once the Third and Fourth of July celebrations wrap up for the year, the Park City Mountain Resort concert season begins.
While Mountain Town News' free Thursday night Newpark concerts have been canceled this year due to a renovation project, the organization approached Park City Mountain to move the series to Canyons Village.
"We wanted to find a home where we could present a similar type line up that would feature smaller, up-and-coming national touring bands and artists," said Brian Richards, Mountain Town Music's community conductor of musical matters. "We're excited that Canyons will be hosting the concerts."
The free concerts will begin at 6 p.m. and guests are welcome to bring their own picnics or enjoy refreshments at the Umbrella Bar, according to a Park City Mountain press release.
