•Party Favor at Gallivan Center

This free concert series continues at the Gallivan Center this week so we can properly see how we all dance when we are mixed with thousands of people at the Gallivan Center. Party Favor, DJ and producer extraordinaire, will throw down. He grew up in Park City, so it’s somewhat of a homecoming. Opening guests are Sheilds, Tee Jay, Z & Z, Dj DIZZ. Doors open at 6p, and while the show is free, once we’re full, we’re full, so get there early. All-ages show with a bar area for those 21+!

•Utah Arts Festival at Library Square

There is a lot this weekend and you’ve got to take as much in as you can before we once again turn into the frozen Zion tundra. If you didn’t know, this year the theme is #UnitedInArt. How? Well, we all like painting, printing, carving, spoken work, mixed media, kinetic art, passive art, sculpture, film, photography, mimes, music, comedy, graffiti, prints, etchings, edibles (not that kind), beverage arts, dancing, body art, native art, clean socks, fashion, theatre, theater, pop art, postmodern, modern, and…you get the idea. The point is, we are united! The Fest goes through Sunday!
