Great Scott! Back to the Future goes from screen to stage at the Eccles for a new musical version that won the 2022 Olivier Award for Best New Musical. Low ticket supply, so rev to 88mph and get yours now. Through Sunday.

The 10th annual Utah Blues Festival returns to Gallivan! With a dozen performers over Friday and Saturday, this relaxed festival brings world-famous musicians like the incredible swamp blues legend Tab Benoit and soul-blues mainstay Tommy Castro to Utah for intimate performances.
Sunny Days! Alicia Wrigley and a seven-piece jazz ensemble perform songs from Sesame Street! Bring your pillows and blankets to Brigham Young Historic Park for a buoyant reimagining of songs from your childhood. 5:30, 1-Hour, Free!
ALSO FRIDAY
The dogs, the babies, and the vibes were all peak on opening day of the Downtown Farmers Market last week. Return to Pioneer Park this week to discover your vegetable vendor, your baker–and don’t leave without your peonies! Saturday, 8-2.
Grab sandwiches, blankets and pillows and return to Pioneer Park for Moulin Rouge! The 2001 jukebox musical won five Oscars and is one of our favs. Utah Film Center and The Blocks start the presentation at 8pm.
We want to feature your fun!
