In the early 2000s the Twilight Concert Series was a vibrant celebration that saw swelling crowds of concert goers grooving across the expansive lawns of Pioneer Park. Big acts included a huge variety of musical talent from Ludacris, to Modest Mouse, Erykah Badu, The Roots, Diplo, Beck, Death Cab For Cutie, and many more. When the Twilight Concert Series faced an uncertain future the community rallied. Locally owned and operated Broadway Media Group worked with the Salt Lake Arts Council Foundation to see what it would take to explore avenues for revival. "We weren't willing to give up on 30 years of culture and tradition in downtown Salt Lake," says a representative of Broadway.
Thanks to the hard work and commitment of Broadway Media and the Arts Council, Twilight will continue to glimmer amongst Salt Lake's most anticipated summer events. Residents and visitors alike will uphold this summer tradition at a bargain price. In returning to Gallivan and Library Square, visitors can expect a vibrant scene with many more dining and beverage offerings. "We are proud to support all the locally owned and operated businesses and eateries along Gallivan Way," says Jake Jensen, VP of Promotions & Events at Broadway Media.
Because ticket sales will be limited, it is a wise idea to purchase tickets on Twilight's webpage well in advance of each concert date.
At the Gallivan Center you will have access to mass transit and parking options. Gallivan is along a Trax stop and the majority of parking garages downtown lie within a 2-block radius.
