The Sundance Film Festival will be coming to ��ý�� Jan. 21–31, 2027, the Sundance Institute announced today.

This follows a previous announcement that the Festival would be moving to ��ý��, starting with the 2027 season, and a proposal submitted in June 2024 by the ��ý�� Convention and Visitors Bureau (Visit ��ý��).

The proposal had support from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT), the Colorado Office of Film Television and Media, OEDIT‘s Business Funding & Incentives Division, Colorado Creative Industries, the Colorado Tourism Office and a regional coalition of partners, including the city of ��ý��, the ��ý�� Chamber, CU ��ý�� and the Stanley Film Center.

CU ��ý�� is working closely with the Sundance Institute and the city of ��ý�� as planning progresses. Updates can be found both on the newly created CU ��ý�� Sundance Film Festival webpage and on the Visit ��ý�� website.

Tickets for the 2027 Sundance Film Festival are not yet for sale.

“As the Sundance Film Festival reflects on its incredible history in Utah, the CU ��ý�� community is excited to pick up the torch in Colorado,” said CU ��ý�� Chancellor Justin Schwartz. “Several CU ��ý�� leaders were able to travel to Utah this winter and witness the creative and logistical feats underpinning this storied festival, helping us become well-prepared to serve as hosts in 2027. We are excited about how the Festival will create new opportunities for our students, faculty, staff and the extended community.”

Keep updated on the 2027 Sundance Film Festival

OEDIT expects the Festival will have a significant and growing economic impact to Colorado’s economy. The 2024 Festival contributed over $132 million to Utah’s economy, while creating 1,730 jobs for Utah residents and $69.7 million in wages. Over 24,000 visitors came from out of state for the Festival that year.

The Festival will offer new opportunities to students, faculty and staff. Exposure to the world-class filmmakers, actors, screenwriters and others that attend the Sundance Film Festival will inspire the next generation of artists.

More information about the Festival will be available on the Visit ��ý�� website, the CU ��ý�� webpage, and the Sundance Film Festival website.

The Sundance Film Festival is set to make its ��ý�� debut in January 2027. Find out the exact dates and how to stay connected as planning progresses.
