See full event listings at The Blocks Arts District
Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page once said that Led ZepAgain, the less-storied cover band, “Is as close as you’ll get to the real deal.” And, since Page stated a reunion tour is unlikely, get your fill of Stairway to Heaven at Rose Wagner, 7:30pm.
ALSO WEDNESDAY
Utah Mammoth v Colorado Avalanche, Delta Center, 7pm
“Music for mushrooms,” is how East Forest describes his music. Rolling Stone calls it “lush” and NPR said “blissful.” Those are true, but music for mushrooms seems spot-on. (we assume, anyway…). The Complex, 8pm
ALSO THURSDAY
Tight films, beautifully shot around the world explore race, class, conservation, childhood trauma, and the illusive Rooster Fish. No, it isn’t Sundance, it is the Fly Fishing Film Tour at Rose Wagner, 6pm & 9pm, $30
From the rustic Kootenay mountains of Western Canada, Moontricks brings a twang and bootstomping music that they say is “about settling into feeling comfortably lost, and being okay with not knowing it all.” Great mantra! Friday, The Depot, 7pm
Claude Debussy called the ocean, “an old friend,” so, when he composed La mer, (The Sea) he wanted to capture the emotional and physical essence of the ocean through impressionistic soundscapes and changing moods–from tranquil dawn to violent storms. Dive into this masterwork with the Utah Symphony at Abravanel Hall, 7:30 Fri + Sat.
ALSO FRIDAY:
Utah Mammoth v Minnesota Wild, Delta Center, 7pm
Shop 75 vendors offering baked breads, farm fresh produce, handmade gifts, and artisan goods–all from Utah at the Downtown Farmers Market, 10-2pm
Life is batter with buttercream. Something Frosted's Dani Sachs is teaching a vintage buttercream heart cake class and you’re going to want a piece of it. You'll pipe shells, ruffles, and swags like a pro, leave with a cake you decorated yourself, and sip a mocktail while doing it. Date night… Girls' night… if you tiered up over Valentine’s Day plans that fizzled, here is a good replacement. February 28, 4:30–6pm at Botanika, 353 W 200 S. $85, spots limited.

Residents and visitors to Salt Lake City are invited to experience “A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake,” a striking new artwork by international artist Olafur Eliasson. The artwork comprises a musical composition and a colorful light projection that unfurls after dark upon the surface of a large, elevated sphere. The music for “A symphony of disappearing sounds for the Great Salt Lake” (2026) uses field recordings of local animals and natural phenomena drawn from existing archives as well as new recordings made for the project. This installation will broadcast from Memory Grove every night from March 26-April 4, it is free but reserving a ticket is recommended.
