Review Our Accessibility Guide

The Utah Arts Festival engages and consults with a professional security team throughout the year on planning a safe environment for all Festival attendees. We continually monitor and re-evaluate as necessary.

This year, please be aware that our security protocols will include:

• Increased security personnel at entrances and throughout the Festival venue.
• Wanding and enhanced bag checks at all entry points. To expedite this process, we recommend limiting what you bring to small bags or fanny packs. Clear bags are requested and recommended for faster entry. All attendees are encouraged to arrive early to allow for the security screening process, particularly for large bags.
• Continued collaboration with local law enforcement and emergency services to help ensure the security industry's best practices are in place and being utilized. 

The Utah Arts Festival organizers appreciate the cooperation in providing a safe environment for all attendees.

If you have any needs while at the Festival, you may find our security headquarters on the Library Plaza in the retail space next to the Library Arch Main Entrance. You will also find the Lost & Found at Security.

For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, all guests and their personal property are subject to inspection prior to admittance into the venue. The following will not be allowed in the Festival:

• Weapons of any kind, including firearms and self-defense tools, or any other item that security may determine could be used to cause personal or property damage.
