Summer is taking off in Salt Lake City, and we're here with all the essential updates to keep you connected to the best events around town!
Our biggest news? We've officially partnered with SLC Scoop after discovering our shared vision for highlighting what makes this city special. After recording with Dylan, Chris, and Jordan, we knew this collaboration would create something special. Stay tuned for exciting new segments and behind-the-scenes content coming your way soon.
Mark your calendars for the Salt Lake Arts Festival happening downtown from June 18th-22nd at the City County Building and library. Now in its 49th year, this beloved summer tradition offers local art, diverse food options, and live music—perfect for the beautiful weekend weather ahead. For the night owls, Ranger Sound Car and Doof are collaborating on an epic late-night EDM event on the 28th (location TBA, but tickets are available now). And don't miss the Food Truck Cheese Fest on July 9th at Mill Creek Common, a free, family-friendly event with prizes and delicious cheesy creations from Cache Valley Cheese.
Music fans will be thrilled to hear that Red West Festival returns this fall with an incredible lineup including Post Malone, Kacey Musgraves, Noah Kahn, and many more talented performers.
Looking ahead to this Saturday's episode, we're sitting down with Manoli Katsanevas, owner of the renowned Greek restaurant Manoli's and member of the influential Katsanevas family (whose roots extend from Crown Burger to the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City). We'll explore how he built his restaurant empire, including his newer fast-casual concept Perea, and dive into Salt Lake's vibrant Greek community.
