Welcome to the inaugural Sundance Film Festival in Boulder. We can't wait to share our city with you.
2027 Sundance Film Festival Logo
Perched at the base of Colorado's iconic Flatirons, Boulder combines a world-class setting with exceptional reachability. Whether you're flying in through Denver International Airport (DEN) or making the short drive from Denver or communities across the Front Range, getting here is easy. Boulder is just 45 minutes from the airport, with nonstop flights from hundreds of destinations and frequent direct transit service connecting DEN to Boulder nearly 24 hours a day. Regional bus routes also provide convenient, frequent service between Boulder, Denver, and neighboring communities.
And once you're here, we've got you.
With local buses serving Sundance Film Festival destinations every 10 - 15 minutes, regional bus routes connecting communities throughout the Front Range, hundreds of shared bikes and scooters, and extensive walking paths throughout the city, getting around Boulder is easy. Whether you're headed to a screening, conversation, Boulder hotspot, or your next adventure, our award-winning transportation network helps you move throughout the Fest and beyond.
The quickest, most convenient, and affordable way to the Sundance Film Festival is by taking transit. We've made it easy to get around without worrying about parking, navigating unfamiliar streets, or expensive car rentals and rideshares. Frequent service along the US 36, CO 119, and Arapahoe Avenue corridors connects Boulder with Denver, communities to the north, and destinations to the east, giving Festivalgoers an easy and affordable alternative to driving.
Along the way, you might find yourself riding beside filmmakers, actors, producers, journalists, and fellow Festivalgoers headed to the next screening. You never know where a conversation might lead. Some of the best Sundance Film Festival connections happen between destinations.
Whether you're arriving from New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, or another destination around the globe, we recommend the Regional Transportation District (RTD) airport coach bus service via routes AB1, AB2, and AB3 to Boulder.
With nearly around-the-clock service, the AB routes offer a convenient, affordable, and stress-free start to your Sundance Film Festival experience with travel times that are comparable to driving.
From the moment you land, we've got smooth connections to Boulder waiting for you.
The high-frequency Flatiron Flyer links Denver, Downtown Denver's Union Station, Westminster, Broomfield, Louisville, Superior, and Boulder throughout the day. So grab a coffee, compare screening schedules with friends, or simply enjoy the view on the way into town.
Additional transit connections from communities across the Front Range make Boulder easy to reach from every direction.

Our local, high-frequency transit system connects Sundance Film Festival venues, hotels, restaurants, and gathering places throughout Boulder. The HOP, SKIP, and JUMP buses, along with a Chautauqua Connector, provide frequent and affordable service between Festival destinations.
The 2027 Sundance Film Festival is designed as a park-once experience. Most destinations are only a short bus ride, roll, or stroll away.
Boulder's multimodal network also includes shared e-bikes, e-scooters, rideshare services, and multi-use paths for biking and walking.
Driving to the Fest? We've got you there, too.
Park-n-Rides throughout the Front Range offer one of the easiest ways to access the Fest if you're coming from communities outside of Boulder. Park once and ride transit the rest of the way—it's the fastest, easiest, and most affordable way to get around during the Fest. To accommodate Festival audiences, transit agencies will expand service with increased capacity and more frequent departures on key routes, making it even easier to get to screenings and events without the hassle of driving and parking.
Paid parking is available in the city, too. Visit the map of public parking options. Most Festival venues do not have associated parking, making transit, walking, biking, and rideshares the easiest ways to move between screenings, events, and downtown destinations.
Whether you're using a Park-n-Ride or paid parking in Boulder, simply park once. From there, we've got you covered with convenient connections to all the places you want to go. Use the Transit app web-based trip planner to plan your bus, rideshare, e-bike, and e-scooter trips.
From accessible bus service to designated accessible parking, we're committed to creating a welcoming and easy-to-navigate Festival experience.
All local and regional buses are wheelchair accessible, equipped with ramps or lifts, designated priority seating, audible stop announcements, and are designed to support a comfortable ride.
In Boulder, we believe the journey matters. We're a community that values connection. That's what makes the Sundance Film Festival such a natural fit.
The Fest has always been about bringing people together to celebrate creativity, storytelling, and new ideas. Here, that experience extends beyond the theater doors, into the streets and during the ride.
A conversation that starts on the way to a venue could become part of your Sundance Film Festival story. So skip the drive and the rental car and travel like a local. On our streets, paths, and buses, you might find yourself beside a filmmaker, producer, journalist, or someone you've admired for years.
More details about transportation services, Sundance Film Festival routes, parking, accessibility, and mobility options will be released in the coming months. As plans continue to take shape, we'll share everything you need to know to arrive with confidence and make the most of your Fest experience. Visit our Sundance Film Festival webpage for more transportation information.
We'll keep you moving. Stay tuned.
