Park City Song Summit harmonizes music, mental health, and meaningful connections

KUTV — Tucked in the stunning Wasatch mountains, the Park City Song Summit is more than just a music festival—it’s an immersive experience rooted in storytelling, connection, and purpose.

Held this year from August 14–16 at City Park in Park City, Utah, this one-of-a-kind gathering invites music lovers, artists, and thought leaders to explore the deeper layers behind the songs we love.

Kari Hawker-Diaz spoke to Ben Anderson, founder, about the event and the musical artist lineup.

Born from a passion for music and built to foster genuine connection, Park City Song Summit blends intimate artist conversations with powerful live performances. Instead of just watching from the crowd, attendees get to dive into the inspiration, myth, and meaning behind the music through fireside chats, panels, and personal stories from songwriters, creatives, and industry trailblazers.

From Grammy-winning musicians to rising indie stars, the Summit showcases a diverse lineup that reflects the rich complexity of the human experience—and the stories behind every lyric.

What truly sets the Song Summit apart is its bold, intentional focus on mental health, recovery, and inclusion. The event creates space for open, honest conversations about the challenges many in the music world face—addiction, anxiety, self-worth, and the pressures of performance. By normalizing these discussions, the Summit aims to reduce stigma and foster healing within both the music industry and wider community.

With dedicated wellness programming, the event encourages attendees to prioritize their well-being. From meditation and yoga sessions to quiet moments of reflection, the experience is as restorative as it is inspiring.
