The New SLC —
Salt Lake City International Airport

Salt Lake is a thriving, growing modern community, and the Salt Lake City International Airport is the lifeblood of that growth. Bill Wyatt, the Director of Airports, now truly has a monumental task set in front of him: in order to ensure the facility continues to serve a burgeoning population, the airport needs a drastic update. And that’s exactly what he’s giving it: a brand-spanking new, slick, state-of-the art $4 billion facility with considerably more capacity is being built, all while keeping up with the every day traffic of the existing airport.

2020 Pioneer Day Activities in Salt Lake

Pioneer Day (and its heathen spinoff, Pie & Beer Day) is a uniquely Utah holiday celebrated on July 24th of each year to celebrate the arrival of Mormon pioneers into the Salt Lake valley. Of course, even the most visionary of pioneers couldn’t imagine their commemorative holiday would be interrupted with a pandemic in 2020, but they certainly would have wanted people to celebrate as much as they safely could. So we’ve gathered a few fun activities that are still happening.

Utah Film Center’s LGBTQ Damn These Heels Film Festival

Though Salt Lake and Utah might be more widely known for the conservative, LDS element of its identity, such a brushstroke paints over a vibrant, thriving counterculture that has helped define the Salt Lake metro area for decades. One facet of this overlooked area comes in the form of Utah Film Center’s annual Damn These Heels Queer Film Festival (DTH). Now celebrating its 17th year, DTH is more than just a Salt Lake destination—it’s currently the only queer film Festival in the Mountain West. And this year, for the first time, DTH will be a streaming-based festival running through July 19th.
