Downtown is hurting.
This week’s Main Street fire destroyed beloved local businesses and left dozens of employees suddenly without work. Our neighbors need us now more than ever—donate to the Main Street Bar Block Fire Employee Assistance Program at downtownslc.org and help them get back on their feet.
Paws up, party people—Yappy Hour is back at Pioneer Park and it’s the ulti-mutt summer hangout. Bring your four-legged bestie for an evening of live music, tasty eats, frosty beers, and tail-wag-worthy shopping from local vendors. FREE, 6-9pm
Olé, SLC—get ready to feel the heat of Flamenco Up Close! at the Rose Wagner’s Studio Theater. For two performances only, be transported straight to a cozy tablao in Spain with warm guitars, electric rhythms, and the dancing is pure fire. Friday & Saturday.
Cheers, SLC—raise a glass for City Weekly’s 15th Annual Utah Beer Festival. The Gateway transforms into the hoppiest place in the state for Utah’s largest beer event with 200 beers from more than 50 breweries. Saturday and Sunday.
Last year, the Main Street Fashion Show was a dazzling celebration of style, storytelling, and street culture in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City. Presented by Alleyways Amplified, this one-night-only event transforms the lobby of Eccles Theater, featuring bold designs, local models, and fashion-forward performances that reflect the diverse creative energy of our city. Come for the looks, stay for the vibes, and experience the art of fashion in motion.
We want to feature your fun!
