EVE

Blog entry by Ambrea Kuhn, The Leonardo's Intern

Salt Lake City has grown too big to have only one night to celebrate the new year. The city's new year's celebration First Night will be replaced with EVE, a three-day party with ambitions to include "Everyone, Everywhere, and Everything." Events at multiple venues (including Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, The Gateway, Pierpont Avenue, Temple Square and The Gallivan Center) really do have something for everyone -- arts, sports, great local music, dance, and kids stuff.


Highlights include a battle of the tribute bands, with echoes of The Beatles, Nirvana, and KISS. And "eBay It Forward" allows folks to re-gift items to charity. The gifts, along with the story of why the item was important to you, will be collected at the Gateway, and proceeds will be donated to Family Promise, a program that assists homeless families.

EVE organizers have mapped out alternate transportation to the festival, spots to stay the night, and multiple ways to buy tickets. And Salt Lake City will still ring in 2010 the old-fashioned way -- with a giant fireworks display at Gallivan Center. See you there!
