Olympians and Paralympians from across Utah — including athletes returning from the 2026 Winter Games — will be celebrated at the Youth Sports Alliance Olympic and Paralympic Homecoming Parade on Historic Main Street in Park City on Friday. Park City’s Olympic athlete delegation, often ref erred to as “Park City Nation,” included 57 competitors representing six countries at the 2026 Winter Games. If competing as their own nation, Park City athletes would have finished 14th in the Olympic medal standings, tied with Finland and Australia. Credit: Youth Sports Alliance Park City Nation athletes earned multiple medals at the 2026 Winter Games, highlighted by gold in mixed team aerials (Connor Curran, Kaila Kuhn, Chris Lillis), silver in team pursuit (Casey Dawson, Ethan Cepuran, Emery Lehman), and a gold and silver from Paralympic snowboarder Noah Elliott. Additional podium finishes came from Zoe Atkin (GBR), Mac Forehand, Alex Hall, and Ashley Farquharson. The public is invited to line Main Street to cheer on Utah’s Olympic and Paralympic athletes and take part in a community celebration of the state’s deep Olympic legacy. Athletes will be available following the parade for photos and autographs. The parade will comprise athletes returning from the 2026 Winter Games who grew up in Park City, trained with one of the Youth Sports Alliance’s seven winter sport teams, or relocated to Park City to train at its world-class venues and coaching programs. They will be joined by Olympians and Paralympians from across Utah who competed in the 2026 Winter Games, 2024 Summer Games, and prior Olympic and Paralympic Games. The parade starts at 5 p.m. at the top of Main Street. Olympians and Paralympians, joined by youth athletes from Youth Sports Alliance teams and the Get Out Play afterschool program, will walk, roll, or ride down Main Street. Following the parade, athletes will sign autographs on lower Main Street after a brief presentation.
