Utah Festivals and Events
I love going to festivals and other community events. It’s so much fun to go with my kids and/or friends. I used to have a list that I updated each year, but when my old computer crashed- I lost it. So, this is my new list that I am still updating. Most activities I’ve listed are in the Salt Lake area, but a few are nearby. I know there are many more than this, but tried to list some of the most popular.
**FYI- I try to keep this post as up to date as possible. Please share any updates or other activities in the comments**

Hi. I was wondering if you would add our event to your calendar. It’s the Made In Utah Brewers Fest in May 9th, 5pm-10pm at the Gateway.
