When Red Butte Garden & Arboretum announces the date its Outdoor Concert Series season tickets will go on sale, it’s a story in itself. Music lovers mark their calendars and hope they’ll be able to click “Purchase” before their favorite artists sell out.
The Garden & Arboretum, celebrating its 40th anniversary, launched the concert series in 1987 with four local groups performing on a small, tented stage at a whopping $3 per ticket. Popularity surged as bigger names like B.B. King and Indigo Girls joined the lineup, paving the way for a new state-of-the-art stage and amphitheater in 2008.
Today, Salt Lake Magazine calls the Red Butte Garden Outdoor Concert Series “a mainstay of summer in Salt Lake.” For tickets—those not already sold out—visit redbuttegarden.org/concerts. Savvy concert-goers know the secret—garden membership grants presale access, giving you first choice before the general public each spring.
