Summerfest 2008
It’s time for the annual Summerfest Arts Festival which will be held this year on Saturday, June 14th from noon to dusk at the park behind City Hall. The Holladay Arts Council began this festival 8 years ago to give the residents of Holladay a family oriented all day outdoor activity that included live entertainment, children's activities, ethnic foods and art exhibitors.
Over 5000 yearly visitors to the Festival have come to enjoy the broad range of activities for children with face and hair painting, blow up slides and trampolines, and of course take home art projects. Summerfest has become an attraction for a high caliber of returning artists and crafts persons with live performances by some of the best entertainers in the State. So mark this date and join the Holladay Arts Council as they host another Summerfest celebration. Further details will be posted as they become available.
