One of the most sought-after musical groups in Park City turned down other offers so they could come play the Party in the Park. And we are so glad they did! You will love this magical trio of musicians as they play from a song list which is all over the board but filled with everybody’s favorites. From Peter, Paul and Mary to OutKast… Alison Kraus to AniD’Franco… Crosby, Stills and Nash to Simon & Garfunkel… to The Judds. You can count on Great Guitar and Great Fun! Click to Check them out!

Lines form early for this favorite with the kids. We are planning for two facepainting sessions of about 45 minutes each with a 30 minute balloon-art show in between. We suggest getting there by 3:15 so as to get in line and to not miss any of the water events!

Want to have some fun?! Grab your kayak, pedal boat, or paddleboard, and dress it, and you, up any way you want to. Get creative with your ideas, the more festive, fun and wacky the better! You'll join other wacky watercraft on the parade route and at the end the judges will decide who takes home the "Best Wacky of 2019" award!

Need a watercraft? Borrow one of the loaners we'll have on site but...register early or they may be gone! Email Editor@SilverSprings.Life to get on the list to borrow one.

NOTE: Crafts don't have to be as extravagant as the pictures here. Just grab a costume, stick a stuffed unicorn on your SUP...and away you go!

A brand new expanded playground with wonderful new equipment was being installed during July and the official unveiling will be at the Party in the Park. This was the equipment which got the rave remarks and all thumbs-up from the kids on the selection committee... so bring your kids and explore the fun!

You will LOVE this! Picture twelve buckets anchored in the lake. Each bucket holds a dozen flowers uniquely labeled to that bucket. Your job is to get to each bucket, any way you want to: kayak, paddleboard, raft, etc, collecting one rose from each bucket and then be the first (or second or third) one back to the finish line with a complete set of a dozen flowers, one from each bucket. Oooohhh....this will be FUN! ...Get your cameras ready

PRIZE - You'll be competing for the coveted Golden Paddle, a Royal Lei and $50 Bill White Gift Certificate. This is an amazing prize package you will cherish and show off all year long. Good luck!
