Beyond the music on stage at the festival and the official after show events each night at intimate venues around the city, festival goers spend the weekend exploring the vibrant arts and food scenes in Salt Lake City. They catch up with old friends over coffee at local shops before heading to the Fairpark, and maybe meet some new pals while bopping in the mosh pit or tearing up the dance floor in the silent disco. At the festival, attendees can also indulge in great food and beverage options, as well as take a stroll through Vendor Village to check out the boutique offerings from local creatives, learn about the efforts of partnered advocacy groups, shop for records to add to their collection, or pick up some official festival and artist merch. Not to mention the ability to watch professional skaters shred away at the festival's annual skateboarding competition, The Crusher Cup.
Over the years Kilby Block Party has become a beloved institution, not only among the diverse array of music fans who mark the dates on their calendar each year as soon as they are announced, but also for artists who relish the opportunity to play a truly hand curated and communal event. The festival has also become an economic boon to the Salt Lake City region, with last year’s event drawing nearly 16,000 visitors from out of state to spend an estimated $24.7 million dollars in Utah, with the festival as a whole contributing $33.5 Million to the state's GDP, generating 3.3 million in state & local tax revenue, and an estimated 419 jobs for Utah residents resulting in $17.2 million in local wages.

Kilby Block Party 2027 will continue the festival’s tradition of bringing together an incredible collection of fans and performing artists each year to celebrate life, community, and a shared unwavering love for the irreplicable power of live music. What began in 2019 as a one-day block party to mark the 20th anniversary of SLC’s beloved local all ages music venue Kilby Court, has grown into one of the foremost destination festivals for fans of independent music, with last year’s festival seeing over 30k attendees per day from all over the world. Stay tuned for additional announcements in the coming weeks.
