Salt Lake City’s Best September Events You Don’t Want to Miss
Salt Lake City in September is pure magic—crisp mornings, golden canyon leaves, and a calendar overflowing with local favorites. Whether you’re a longtime resident or scouting neighborhoods before making Utah your home, these events capture the community spirit that makes SLC and its surrounding areas so special.
1. Twilight Concert Series at Pioneer Park
Big-name artists, indie favorites, and food trucks under a mountain sunset? Yes, please. Bring a blanket, gather friends, and let the music remind you why SLC summers roll perfectly into fall.
2. Utah State Fair
A beloved tradition for more than 160 years. Enjoy fried pickles, prize-winning livestock, live entertainment, and Ferris wheel rides. Families, date nights, or first-time visitors—this is Utah culture at its most authentic.
3. Downtown Gallery Stroll
Every third Friday, galleries open their doors for free. Wander from Pioneer Park to Broadway, discover local artists, and maybe find that perfect piece for your new living room wall.
4. Big Cottonwood Marathon & Half
This downhill race winds through breathtaking canyon views. Even if you’re not lacing up, join the crowds to cheer runners on, snap photos of early fall foliage, and reward yourself with brunch nearby.
5. Oktoberfest at Snowbird
Weekends at Snowbird transform into an alpine celebration—German food, craft beers, live music, and mountain views. A must-do for anyone craving crisp air and community vibes.
