Next week Park City will be overrun with celebs, media, and insiders for the Sundance Film Festival. Created by Robert Redford, the festival sheds light the hard work on well-known as well as notable filmmakers and actors. Over the years Sundance Film Festival has become more than films, it has been deemed as the perfect weekend getaway filled with chic activations paired with breathtaking views, and not to mention many instagrammable moments.

We've gathered a few of must-see events over the first weekend of the festival! Take a look and let us know your favorites in the comments!

DIRECTV Lodge presented by AT&T:

January 19th-January 21st

660 Main St.

Throughout the weekend DirecTV Lodge will be created the perfect lounge to escape the winter temps! Keep warm with hot chocolate, cocktails as well as light bites. To be honest, it's pretty tough not to spend the day here, as it is the culinary  and entertainment hotspot on Main Street!

Multiple premiere parties, inspirational brunches, as well as daytime activations will be happening. DirecTV Lodge for years has been a nice central place to go for an afternoon pick-up and is probably one of the most notable central points for insiders at Sundance!
