The amphitheater’s hillside setting provides a relaxed atmosphere, framed by expertly curated gardens like the rose garden and children’s garden. With paved paths weaving through themed areas and the foothills rising behind the stage, every show benefits from a natural backdrop that enhances the performance experience.

Whether you’re here for a chart-topping headliner or a day exploring the grounds, the combination of world-class music and flourishing landscapes makes every visit special.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Red Butte Garden

300 Wakara Way

Salt Lake City, Utah 84108

Located within Salt Lake City, the garden sits approximately 3 miles east of downtown in the foothills near the University of Utah.

• Parking: On-site parking is available but fills quickly during events; overflow parking is offered in nearby University of Utah lots. Parking is typically free for garden visitors; event parking may have a fee.
• Public Transit: Accessible via UTA bus routes; the nearest TRAX light rail stop is University Medical Center, approximately a 1-mile walk from the venue.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated drop-off and pick-up areas are located near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime, especially for general admission lawn concerts. Early arrival improves your chances of getting prime lawn space, simplifies entry, and helps you avoid congestion in the on-site and overflow parking areas.

Concerts proceed rain or shine, so check the forecast and bring weather-appropriate gear. Clear evenings often deliver beautiful sunset views over the Salt Lake Valley, while cooler nights at elevation call for a light layer. Cell service is generally good, but it can be spotty during large Red Butte Garden events, so download your tickets in advance.

Expect some uphill walking from parking areas to the amphitheater. Paved garden paths help, but comfortable footwear is recommended. If you’re using TRAX, factor in the approximately 1-mile walk from the University Medical Center station to arrive on time.

Venue Navigation

Red Butte Garden’s amphitheater and garden spaces are connected by paved, well-marked paths that can be hilly at points. Once inside the concert area, you’ll find concessions, merchandise stands during shows, restrooms, and water stations positioned for easy access.

Make time to explore the Visitor Center and educational exhibits before a performance, and don’t miss themed areas like the children’s garden and rose garden during daytime visits. The garden’s terrain rewards comfortable footwear, particularly for those navigating from overflow parking or touring the grounds before evening concerts.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Small bags and coolers are allowed for concerts (subject to search); large bags may be restricted.
• Prohibited Items: Glass containers, alcohol (unless purchased on-site), large umbrellas, tents, pets (except service animals), and weapons.
• Re-entry Policy: Generally allowed during concerts with a hand stamp or wristband.
• Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Arrive early to claim your preferred lawn spot — general admission seating is first-come, first-served.
• Expect some uphill walking from parking; wear comfortable shoes and plan your route from overflow lots or public transit.

Pre-Event Planning

Turn your concert night into a full experience by exploring the garden before gates open. The rose garden, children’s garden, and themed displays offer peaceful strolls and photo-worthy backdrops, especially in spring and early summer when blooms are at their best. If you’re timing your arrival, plan to be settled on the lawn just before sunset to enjoy sweeping views over the valley as the lights come up on stage.

Coordinating with a group? Designate a meeting point near the main entrance or inside the amphitheater to regroup after settling parking and entry. Since cell service can be spotty during large Red Butte Garden events, it’s smart to share your section plan and anticipated arrival time in advance.

For a smooth night, review your transportation options — on-site and overflow parking, UTA routes, or a rideshare drop-off near the entrance — and choose the path that fits your schedule. If you’re coming from TRAX, allow extra time for the 1-mile walk from the University Medical Center station.

Accessibility

Red Butte Garden is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking near the entrance, designated accessible seating on the amphitheater lawn and in reserved sections, and accessible paths and ramps throughout the venue. Assistive listening devices are available for concerts upon request.

Dining Options

During concerts, you’ll find concession stands serving snacks and beverages, along with local food trucks offering a variety of quick bites.
