Plans for the weekend: Lighting up the town
If you're coming into downtown Salt Lake City tonight, be prepared for big crowds. Look at what's going on tonight:

  • The lights at Temple Square (bordered by North Temple, West Temple, South Temple and State streets) will be turned on at dusk - and the performance of "Savior of the World" starts at the Conference Center Theatre (on the corner of North Temple and West Temple) at 7:30.
  • The "Light Up the Night Concert," featuring Jon Schmidt and the lighting of the tree at Olympic Legacy Plaza, is at 7 at The Gateway, South Temple and 400 West.
  • And the Utah Jazz play the Sacramento Kings at 7 at EnergySolutions Arena, 301 W. South Temple.

Might I suggest taking Trax into the city?
