Salt Lake City Events

Salt Lake City, Utah, was famous founded by Brigham Young, the head of the Mormon church, and his followers back in 1847. Located near the Great Salt Lake, the city itself is situated in a valley in the Intermountain West, and those early settlers did a great deal to irrigate the mountain basin. Today, Salt Lake City is the capital city of Utah and the state’s biggest city. More than 1.1 million people call the Salt Lake City metropolitan area home. In addition to being the headquarters for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and a number of Mormon landmarks like the Salt Lake Temple and Brigham Young University, Salt Lake City is a thriving town that is also the headquarters of a number of banks. Its railroad and mining roots may have initially brought a population boom, but today, people continue to flock to Salt Lake City both as residents and tourists to take advantage of the arid climate and the many recreational opportunities, which include skiing in the winter. In ‘02, Salt Lake City was home to the Winter Olympic Games. You can find Salt Lake City events tickets at GoTickets.
