2 Best Performing Arts in Salt Lake City, Utah

Over the fourth weekend in June, Salt Lake City's premier art event takes place over two full blocks downtown surrounding both Library and Washington Squares. Browse original art at the Marketplace, create your own masterpiece at the Art Yard, treat your taste buds to a food truck–sponsored feast, and get down to live music on multiple stages.

Mingle with local artists and view their work at various art galleries throughout the city—but especially downtown and in Central City—on the third Friday of the month (or the first Friday of December). Participating galleries change monthly, so it's best to visit the website for each month's current roster. Artists and art lovers chat over wine and snacks at each stop.
