Deer Valley Music Festival Starts in Salt Lake City

I’ll keep it short and sweet so you can get on with your Friday. Weekend plans? Oh, I might go see Harry Potter … again. (It’s awesome, if you were, uh, on the fence about it)

This evening marks the official kick-off to the Deer Valley Music Festival in the Salt Lake City/Park City area of Utah. Poorly named, this “festival” is really more of a month-long concert series hosted by the Utah Symphony and Utah Opera and starring a cadre of special guests.

Starting today, the DVMF will put on 3-4 shows per week through August 15, and you better believe they run the gamut. Program highlights include The Symphonic Hits of ABBA, Mozart’s Last & Beethoven’s First, a Tribute to Rogers and Hammerstein, Rhapsody in Blue (a personal favorite), and Saturday night shows with Leann Rimes and Elvis Costello (those are separate shows, to be clear).

Performances are held at the Deer Valley Amphitheatre at Deer Valley, an upscale ski resort in Park City. General admission is self seating, so be sure to bring either a blanket or a lawn chair. In fact, go ahead and read the tips.

Depending on the show, and your ticket choice, admission can run from $25 to more than $75, and all tickets are sold by event. You can purchase VIP tickets that include better parking, a meal of some kind, and choice seating.

It’s more of a local gig, but if you happen to be traveling into the area, consider the SpringHill Suites Salt Lake City Airport. We’ve come around to this brand lately, having great luck at locations in Salt Lake, Oklahoma City and the west coast. Here’s been the takeaway: if they say they have it, they have it. If they say it works, it works. We’ve never had to fight for service, and that’s reason enough right there.

Have fun!
