Sounds of the City: 6 Salt Lake Summer ‘Must-Do’s’

It’s about to get hot! Summer is officially here and heating up Salt Lake City (in more ways than one). With family-fun activities, outdoor sights and sounds, and unique food experiences for all ages and interests, 2019 will be a summer to remember. Traditions are timeless, but add something new to your summer bucket list with one of these ‘must- do’s’ going on around Salt Lake and the state of Utah this year. Kick off the summer with an outdoor concert or downtown gallery stroll — whatever you’re into, the capital city has something you’re going to be raving about.


1- Red Butte Concert Series 


Red Butte Concert Series is a local favorite and a summer must-do. With top-name acts like Galactic, Seal, Nathaniel Rateliff (to name a few), and a breathtaking backdrop of Salt Lake’s Wasatch Range, Red Butte’s Concert Series offers up summer sounds in the perfect setting. Plus you can bring in your own cooler (yes, that means your own brew, bubbly, and food) which makes this summer event hard to beat. Shows regularly sell out, so get your concert tickets here while they last.


2– Salt City Sounds 


Salt City Sounds Concert Series at the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake is the city’s newest summer tradition. On weekends through July, the series will feature an all-ages top-billing act featuring a 21+ area for beer and alcohol purchase as well as vendors and food trucks. With Empire of the Sun, Common and Kaskade hitting the stage, these shows are already creating a big buzz downtown. Jump on tickets for a single show or check out the entire summer series here.


3– Monthly Gallery Stroll


The monthly Gallery Stroll in downtown Salt Lake is the perfect excuse to explore the city and take in the city’s vibrant culture and inspiring arts scene with a fresh perspective. This free public event occurs on the 3rd Friday of each month. Some galleries open their doors after hours so the public can meet with featured artists, mingle, and admire their work.


4- Wasatch Wildflower Festival


Spanning two weekends in July, city dwellers can escape the heat in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons during the annual Wasatch Wildflower Festival. Enjoy hikes, arts and crafts and live music while taking in the beauty of Utah’s summer wildflowers. Visit Brighton and Solitude in Big Cottonwood Canyon on July 13th and 14th and stop by Alta and Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon on July 20th and 21st. Carpooling is encouraged to reduce congestion and emissions!


5- Eat, Drink SLC


Don’t miss out on the gastronomic event of the summer! Check out this year’s Eat, Drink SLC at Tracy Aviary on Wednesday, July 10th 2019 from 6:30-9:30pm. Salt Lake’s food scene is buzzing, and this is your chance to sample some of the best Salt Lake has to offer. All proceeds will go to local non-profits, so indulge while giving back to the community. Check out this year’s food and drink partners and get your tickets here.


6- Downtown Farmers Market


The Downtown Farmers Market is entering its 28th year as Salt Lake City’s most beloved summer tradition for both residents and visitors.The farmers market of all farmers markets takes place every Saturday around the entire perimeter of downtown’s Pioneer Park. Stop and shop with a free bike valet, grab lunch at one of the many food carts and pick up produce and handiwork from local vendors. For more info check out: slcfarmersmarket.org


Summer flies by quickly, so get outside and enjoy the beautiful, unique city and all it has to offer. There’s a reason Utah is one of the fastest growing states in the nation and its capital city is one of the top ten metros for millennial homebuyers, with lifestyle listed as one of the biggest factors for making the move.



Happy summer!

2025 Is Here: New Year, Same Trusted Partner for Your SLC Home Adventures

By Stephanie Cline • January 21, 2025
Welcome, 2020! We made it through the first week of the New Year and are already excited for what’s to come in this brand new decade. Anything can happen, and we have so much to create! Whether you’re a fan of long-term resolutions or prefer setting smaller, short-term goals, it feels good to start the year off with a desire to change for the better. If you know us, you know our approach at Novation Title has always been goal-centric, not only within our business but in our personal lives and out in the community.  In today’s world where we are constantly connected (and distracted), it’s no wonder that we increasingly find ourselves overwhelmed mentally and physically drained. Often, the issues in everyday life are the ones that prevent us from enjoying the very same everyday life! How can we balance this out? We believe we can do better. That is why we are introducing meditation into our workspace. While meditation has been practiced for over 5,000 years, it is increasingly becoming a necessary way for us to unplug from the modern world. But what, exactly, is it? Meditation is a practice where an individual uses a technique — such as mindfulness — to train attention and thoughts. Mindfulness is awareness, it is a state of peace. It is being in the present moment, intentional and serene. It is the process of being aware of your thoughts while also disconnecting from them so you can connect within. Connecting within is the highest form of intelligence and results in proven mental, emotional and spiritual health benefits. Here are just a few science-based benefits of meditation: Reduces blood pressure Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behavior Improves immune system Increase in energy levels Lessens stress and anxiety Increases happiness and creativity Clarity and peace of mind Increased memory retention and recall Enhances self-awareness and self-acceptance Each one of us, regardless of gender, age or other factors, undergo daily stress and tension at some level or the other. That’s why we’re so excited to introduce #NovationMeditation into our business and we encourage others to join us this year. We can ALL benefit from improved mental and physical health in 2020. Who’s with us?!
