In the spring there is the Utah arts festival which brings local artists to come and display and sell their art. One year they had people on stilts in dragon-like costumes interacting with the crowd. The famous Sundance Film festival promotes independent storytellers in film and theater. Other unique festivals include the Greek festival, Japanese festival, pioneer day, Chinese New Year celebrations, the Utah Pride festival (one of the biggest in the country), ComicCon, and more. There is a very talented Symphony orchestra.

The museum of natural history has a sleek, modern design to it and is always doing events and new exhibitions. The University Museum of Fine Arts (UMFA) has a vast collection of paintings, both traditional and modern, and the new exhibitions are always a pleasure to visit. A recent one was showing art from Edo, Japan including samurai armor and woodblock prints. There’s always an event every season with each community doing something. During Christmas, the German community set up a Christkindlmarkt with authentic german food and games. They even have a Swiss yodeling group.

Salt Lake City is an epicenter for art, education, entertainment, food, shopping, etc. Salt Lake has an amazing community, people are nice and helpful, and it is so easy to get around due to the grid system roads. Just a 25 minute drive will take one to national parks, infamous ski resorts which have “the best snow on earth”, or an amazing hike.
