Since 1947, 801 has been a numeric moniker for Utah. This Tuesday, August 1, Downtown Alliance and Visit Salt Lake invite Utah to celebrate 801 Day with free concerts, downtown discounts, and a joyous carnival of community.
Signing an official proclamation, Mayor Erin Mendenhall stated: “I encourage residents, community organizations, and businesses to join in the celebration and demonstrate their pride for our city. I further urge residents and visitors to take this opportunity to explore the unique neighborhoods and support local restaurants, bars, and shops in ‘The 801.’”
In a joint statement, Kaitlin Eskelson, Visit Salt Lake president and CEO and Dee Brewer, Executive Director of Downtown Alliance said, “801 Day provides an opportunity to celebrate our city’s unity and contributions of the people, businesses, and social institutions that make our city exceptional.”
