After a yearlong search, the Sundance Film Festival announced Thursday that its new home will be Boulder, Colorado, keeping Sundance in the mountains but moving it out of Park City, the Utah ski town that had for decades provided the premier independent film gathering its picturesque snowy backdrop.

After over 40 years in Park City, Utah, the Sundance Film Festival has a new locale. Starting in 2027, the popular independent film-centric festival will move to another snow capped mountain town in Boulder, Colorado, according to a news release from the Sundance Institute.

After four decades in the small Utah ski town, the country’s preeminent film festival is packing its bags for Boulder for the 2027 fest and beyond.
