In this episode of American Dream TV, I talk with Mayor Aaron Brockett and Visit Boulder CEO Charlene Hoffman about the Sundance Film Festival's move to Boulder.
In January 2027, the world will turn its attention to our city as the Sundance Film Festival arrives. For residents, this is more than an event — it's a rare chance to participate in something whose reach extends far beyond Boulder. With new city ordinances, expanded hosting opportunities for homeowners and renters, and a growing network of local support, Boulder is preparing to welcome filmmakers, artists, and audiences in a way that reflects the spirit of our community: thoughtful, creative, and deeply connected.
We're encouraging residents to open their homes at reasonable prices and "host with heart." Doing so helps the festival succeed for everyone — boosting walkability, easing traffic, creating opportunities for local businesses to thrive, and reducing speculative pressure on our housing market.
Stay up to date on the latest trends in real estate.
