Memorial Day weekend in Salt Lake County is one of the best long weekends of the entire year. The weather is warm, the mountains are calling, and the city comes alive in a way that reminds you exactly why you chose to live here.
Whether you're looking to honor the holiday with meaning, get outside with the family, explore the food scene, or simply make the most of an extra day off — Salt Lake County delivers on all of it.
We're talking solemn and moving ceremonies at the Utah State Capitol and Fort Douglas. World-class hiking in Millcreek, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood Canyons. Family days at Hogle Zoo and the Living Planet Aquarium. Live music, local restaurants worth the wait, and day trips to Park City and Antelope Island that will make the weekend feel twice as long.
And that's just scratching the surface.
We put together a full Memorial Day Weekend Guide covering everything happening Friday through Monday — specific events with times, the best outdoor spots to hit before the crowds, family-friendly activities, local dining picks, and a few tips that will save you a headache on the busiest traffic weekend of the spring.
It's all in one place, ready for you to use.
