RED BUTTE GARDEN 2017 OUTDOOR CONCERT SERIES
www.redbuttegarden.org/concerts
Concert series tickets went on sale April 24 are still available for 19-20 of
the 29 acts that will perform in the Amphitheatre this summer.
From its beginning in the 1980’s as a series of five or six “alfresco summer concerts” in
the Garden on Sunday evenings, to the current 3,000-capacity Red Butte Garden
Amphitheatre with top-name acts and a schedule chock-full of consistently sold-out
shows, the Garden is the place to experience some of the best summer concerts in Utah.
You get it all—panoramic alpine-glow views of the Wasatch Front and the Salt Lake
Valley sunset, a botanical garden, your blanket and picnic spread out on the
Amphitheatre lawn in the foothills, and then, of course, there are the amazing artists on
stage.
