Book rooms and compare rates on hotels in Park City during Sundance.
Sundance has screened countless films of queer interest, and become something of a favorite winter event with gay A-listers and creative spirits from West Hollywood, New York City, and many other parts of the world. The festival takes place a few weeks before Elevation Utah - Park City Gay Ski Week, which takes place this year from February 23 through February 26, 2012.
Queer Lounge at Sundance:
The gay presence at Sundance received a major boost in 2004 with the launch of a pavilion dedicated expressly as a focal point for gays and lesbians during the festival, Queer Lounge. Although the lounge existed as an actual venue in the past, the organization no longer operates a physical lounge. However, the organization still has a kept presence at Sundance, providing a list of Sundance films with LGBT themes, and presenting a number of events, lectures, gatherings, and panels with LGBT relevance.
The Sundance website has loads of information on the 2012 festival, including help with finding hotels and arranging transportation; online ticket sales; and the latest information on film screenings and events. For more information on traveling to the area at this time, take a look at the excellent travel website produced by the town's official tourism organization, the Park City Chamber. Another excellent resource is the Salt Lake Convention & Visitors Bureau website.
