Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

Sports Salt Lake

Experience the passionate highs and lows of Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story, from the fiery “Mambo!” to the heartbreak of “Maria” and “Tonight.” But first, hear the brilliant Marc-André Hamelin as his fingers dance and dive across the keys in Brahms’ First Piano Concerto. Considered the “greatest post-Beethoven masterpiece” and nothing short of revolutionary, this concerto established the piano soloist and orchestra as equal partners, whirling together toward its powerful conclusion. Finally, Ravel’s La valse spins from waltz-like elegance to chaotic splendor—a rapturous and satisfying finale to the 2026-27 Masterworks Series.This calendar listing is brought to you by NowPlayingUtah.com, Utah's one-stop, online website for arts and entertainment events, powered by the Utah Cultural Alliance.
