The Final Selection Process

Each finalist has been required to present detailed plans on how they would sustain and enhance the festival. The Sundance selection committee will now conduct site visits to further evaluate each city’s potential to host the festival.

Economic Impact and Historical Context

The Sundance Film Festival has had a significant economic impact on Utah. In 2023 alone, out-of-state visitors, who accounted for a quarter of the attendees, spent nearly $100 million during the festival, according to an economic impact report by Y2 Analytics.

Founded by Robert Redford over four decades ago, Sundance has become synonymous with Park City’s snow-capped mountains and swanky resort town vibe, helping launch the careers of filmmakers like Wes Anderson, Ava DuVernay, and Quentin Tarantino. However, the festival has faced challenges in Park City, including expensive and limited lodging options and transportation issues between venues.

Sundance Film Festival Tickets

What to Expect Next

The decision on the 2027 site is expected by the end of this year or early 2026. The new host city will need to live up to the high expectations set by the festival’s storied history and significant economic contributions, all while addressing the logistical challenges that come with hosting such a prestigious event.
