Music
Brown Bag Concert Series
“Over the past 34 years the Brown Bag Concert Series has presented well over a thousand concerts in plazas, parks, shopping malls, tennis courts, buses, and even elevators, throughout Salt Lake City,” says the event’s website. This year, throughout the month of August, the series will offer nearly as much diversity in the form of musical genres. Swing by for some sun and blues, some cheese and hip-hop, sandwiches and Americana and everything in between. Check out their Website for a schedule of performers.
Salt Lake City & County Building, 451 State, Aug. 8-12; City Creek Park, State & 2nd Avenue, Aug. 15-19; 12:15-1 p.m., Free.

Special Events & Festivals
Craft Lake City
“2011 brings our third annual Craft Lake City,” says Angela Brown, CLC director and SLUG magazine’s editor and publisher. “Our alternative goods will redefine the meaning of the word craft for a lot of Utahns. In addition, with the Gallivan Center’s recent remodel, we now have room for two stages, 21 performing acts and eight different food and beer vendors.” That’s a lot more crafts—er, art—to love.
Gallivan Center, 239 S. Main, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2-9 p.m., CraftLakeCity.com, Free.
