Sundance Film Festival left Park City for Boulder in 2027 — and everything about festival logistics changed overnight. Pearl Street replaces Main Street. Highway 119 replaces I-80. The Flatirons replace the Wasatch Range. And the transportation equation flipped from "park somewhere and walk" to "you need a plan for a college town with zero spare infrastructure."
Arion has operated in Boulder since day one. We know the corridors, the parking black holes, the hotel inventory gaps, and exactly how long it takes to get from DIA to Pearl Street at 4 PM on a Thursday. These guides cover the full picture — where to stay, how to move, and what the festival actually looks like on the ground.
Sundance transportation, sorted.
Arion provides private transportation for Sundance Film Festival — airport transfers from DEN, dedicated festival vehicles, VIP and studio logistics, and corridor shuttles between Denver and Boulder.
