Sundance Rolls Out Red Carpet For Boulder Debut With 2027 Festival Dates

Welcome to Boulder: Sundance's New Home

The Sundance Institute is bringing the glitz and glam of its legendary film festival to a fresh locale. For the first time, Sundance is set to dazzle audiences in Boulder, Colorado, from January 21 to January 31, 2027. After a heartfelt farewell to its long-time base in Park City, the festival is buzzing with anticipation for its next chapter amid the Rocky Mountains.

Prime Venues for Film and Festivity

Sundance has unveiled a roster of official screening venues that promises to make the festival a must-attend event. From the cultural hub of the University of Colorado Boulder’s Macky Auditorium Concert Hall to the intimate settings of Muenzinger Auditorium and Roe Green Theatre, cinephiles can expect a range of exciting spaces across the city. "Nestled at the base of Colorado’s iconic Flatirons," said Eugene Hernandez, Sundance Film Festival director, "venues across the city and CU Boulder’s campus provide an ideal setting for festivalgoers from across the world to come together, revel in art, spark conversation, and create unforgettable memories."

A Farewell to Park City

2026 marked the last year Sundance called Park City home, wrapping up its tenure there with anniversary screenings and heartfelt "thank you" speeches. The festival's move to Boulder is set to infuse new energy into the event while honoring its rich history. Boulder, known for its vibrant arts and tech scene coupled with the lively atmosphere of CU Boulder, is poised to make the festival's new home a magnet for creativity and culture.

Beyond the Silver Screen

Adding to the excitement, the festival's lineup of venues includes Boedecker Theater at the Dairy Arts Center, Boulder Theater, and the historic Chautauqua Auditorium. Beyond screenings, festival programming will light up iconic spots such as the Canyon Theater at the Boulder Public Library District and Old Main at the University of Colorado Boulder, offering a diverse array of talks and events.

Whether you're a film aficionado or simply looking to soak in the cultural feast, the 2027 Sundance Film Festival in Boulder is set to be an unforgettable experience.
