Park City's Historic Main Street - Silver mining was key in the Park City area way back in the late 1860's. By 1880, Park City had grown to a population of over 10,000 people. Although "the great fire of 1898" destroyed over 200 homes and businesses, the town was rebuilt and many of the buildings now seen on Main Street date from that time. A stroll down historic Main Street is all it takes to bring back the romance of the Old West.
Today, Park City's Historic Main Street is home to quaint shops, fine dining establishments, art galleries, bars and live music venues and of course...it's just a short walk to the Park City Mountain Resort. Additional storefronts showcase Park City's eclectic nature holding everything from hardware to sportswear, handcrafted furniture to designer boutiques.
Shopping... Throughout Park City there are hundreds of shops, large and small, offering everything possible for you to enjoy your vacation in Park City. Remember, Park City is the home to over 10,000 residents who purchase a little bit of everything every day. Just like you would when you are home. These shops are located throughout strip malls all over town, but my favorites are up and down Main Street. Just window shopping has always brought many smiles to our faces.
Our locals know Park City's main street as a premier dining destination. From casual settings with simple burgers to elegant gourmet full meals, Park Citys restaurants are known world-wide for fine cuisine and outstanding service.
Utah's reputation and Park City in particular "as a party-town" may be one of their best-kept secrets. The falsehoods that Utah is dry seems to perpetuate the myth that we roll up the sidewalks at pm. Sorry, thats not the case. Our sidewalks are usually covered with revelers ( with me and my cohorts usually leading the way on Thursday and Friday nights ) after dark, bouncing from restaurant to bar. If it's nightlife you want, we got it and it's alive and well in Park City.
