Building Utah

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Open Streets is back in downtown Salt Lake City and better than ever. You might think you know what to expect, but get ready to be surprised and delighted by this year’s new improvements. Josh Jones with the Downtown Alliance joins us with more. Josh Jones: Derek, imagine an urban mini golf course, free yoga sessions, a silent disco, muralists, and lots of free concerts, all of it cascading down Main Street every Friday and Saturday this October. This Open Streets is actually a packed confetti cannon of fun thanks to our BLOCKS team who have curated talented artists and programmers from all across the valley. AND, the best part: it is entirely free. Each weekend has different activities and entertainment, so be sure to check out our website for what’s happening this weekend. We hope the community will wander down to Main Street without a ticket and explore and discover their city. There are more than 170 bars and restaurants downtown, and more than 30 on Main
