Village at the Lift Returns to Park City for its 13th Year at Sundance Film Festival
Creating the ultimate recharge station was Village at the Lift. Taking over Sundance Film Festival over the span of January 23-26th guests were able to pop in throughout the day to fuel up, warm up, or simply chill out.
Located at the foot of Main Street in Park City, the three-story, 30,000 square foot venue will celebrate its 13th Anniversary and continue to be a prime asset to the film festival community. Equipped with a café, nightclub, restaurant, portrait studio, state-of-the-art audio and visual capabilities, as well as boasting an occupant capacity of more than 1,500, Village at the Lift will also satisfy important film festival needs as a full service special event venue (pre/post film premieres, casting opportunities), press conference/junket facility and media hub.
