Utah Arts Festival to bring wide variety of events to Salt Lake

The Utah Arts Festival will bring a wide array of events to Library Square in downtown Salt Lake City from Thursday, June 21, through Sunday, June 24.

The festival, in its 36th year, covers all arts genres, including visual, performing, literary and even culinary arts. The event will include street theater, poetry, aerial artists and a film festival. Eugenie Jaffe, media contact for the festival, said it is the variety of the event that attracts people.

This is a large festival that takes place over two city blocks, and close to 90,000 people attended the festival last year, Jaffe said. Deseret News
