The 10th best thing about Salt Lake City: Red Butte Garden Concerts
Salt Lake City’s Red Butte Garden Concerts are an institution and a culture of their own. While the masses find the Twilight Concert Series affordable, fun and approachable, what they are missing out on is the upscale sociability, elbow room and neighborliness of Red Butte. While Twilight brings in up-and-comers, Red Butte concentrates on bigger names.
The concerts are top notch and feature stars like David Byrne, She and Him, and Neko Case. The keys to an enjoyable experience include getting there early enough to get a place on the lawn near the front, and bringing a great meal. Those who are experienced will bring a blanket, a table, some wine, a cheese plate, or they could bring their favorite picnic items. This makes the concert a more social experience as people enjoy each other’s company.
The Red Butte Garden Concert Series provides not only the musical talents of its artists in an intimate setting but also a social event that is important for everyone involved. Red Butte sells out quickly, but they do offer early package sales.
