Sundance is Coming to BVSD
The Boulder Valley School District is excited that two of our schools have been chosen as official venues for the 2027 Sundance Film Festival.
This is an incredible opportunity for our schools, our students, and our community to be part of a world-renowned event. At the same time, we want to be transparent that an event of this scale will bring some challenges and inconveniences.
What We Know
Similar to a blockbuster movie that is in the works, many of the details regarding next year’s event are still taking shape or under wraps.
Here is what we know right now:
- Venues were announced on February 24 and the auditoriums at Casey Middle School and Boulder High School are on the list
- The Festival runs from January 21-31, 2027
- BVSD schools will be open and operating as normal as possible during the event
Possible Impacts
As we prepare, it is important to understand that there will likely be impacts before, during, and after the festival. With an expected increase in visitors in the Boulder area due to the event, we anticipate heavier traffic in the area. On the Casey Middle School and Boulder High School campuses, there may be restricted access to certain spaces, limited parking, and some adjustments to after-school activities, events, and athletics.
We ask for your patience and flexibility as we navigate this together. This is the first year hosting the festival in Boulder, so details are slowly emerging. We also know that festival organizers and the district will be learning a lot in coming months.
The Dates
The Festival runs from January 21-31, 2027.
Impacts will start as early as January 5 and will continue as late as February 5. The heaviest impact will be the week the event begins and the event itself.
