Utah Gov. Spencer Cox has been working “diligently” to keep Sundance Film Festival returning to Park City, Utah, he said at a press conference Thursday.

Park City's Main Street will be pedestrian-only during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, according to Park City Police Chief Wade Carpenter.

Whether the Sundance Film Festival remains in Utah or moves to Boulder, Colorado or Cincinnati, Ohio in 2027, the 2025 gathering will see some big changes. And we don’t mean on screen. Rather on the streets — Park City’s often congested Main Street.

Park City’s Main Street will be closed to cars during the 2025 Sundance Film Festival. It’s the first road closing of this kind in the event’s history.

While the festival continues as expected, devastation remains in LA County. The National Weather Service put portions of LA County under a “particularly dangerous situation” warning through Wednesday morning as high winds with gusts up to 72 mph threaten rapid spreading of the fire, per the Los Angeles Times.
