Are there Sundance 2027 badge-holder discounts?

None has been published yet. Visit Longmont lists badge-holder discounts as one of three ways local businesses can take part, and the Boulder Chamber runs an Official Friend programme — but neither publishes a participant list, so asking at the till is the reliable method.

What else is happening during Sundance 2027 besides screenings?

Küper Wine Bar in Longmont, a quick 25 minutes from the venues, has published the dated programme: tastings daily from January 21 to 31 plus five events, including an evening of film scores with the Longmont Symphony on Saturday January 23.

lodging

Where should I stay for Sundance 2027?

Boulder has roughly 2,900 hotel rooms for a festival that fills the town, so rooms are scarce and expensive. Staying 25 to 30 minutes north in Longmont, or closer in at Louisville, Lafayette or Erie, is the common workaround — official festival lodging lists rooms in all of them, starting far below Boulder prices.

transit

How far is Longmont from the Sundance venues?

Downtown Longmont is about 16 miles north of Boulder by CO 119, nearer 20 by US 287 — a quick 25 to 30 minute run to the venues in normal conditions. RTD's BOLT bus links the two downtowns and runs until roughly 1:25am on weekdays, which covers a late screening.
