About Living Traditions
Produced by the Salt Lake City Arts Council in partnership with the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, the Living Traditions Festival is a three-day multicultural festival. The Festival supports the preservation of culturally diverse traditions, perspectives, and communities through the presentation of traditional music, dance, crafts, food, and more. We aim to facilitate understanding and belonging amongst communities through varied Utah-based programming and partnerships.
Interest forms for performing artists, craft artists, and food vendors will open January 2027. If you have any questions, please contact Dawn Borchardt at
