History
Origins Kilby Block Party was initially organized in 2019 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Kilby Court, a venue known for hosting emerging artists. It started off as a one-day event that took place on a closed-off street near Kilby Court, featuring a lineup that reflected the venue's legacy of supporting indie and alternative music. Due to its success and positive reception, the festival expanded in subsequent years, moving to larger locations to accommodate increasing attendance. After its initial success, Kilby Block Party continued to evolve, attracting a wider audience and securing high-profile headliners. The festival expanded beyond its original block party setting, relocating to larger venues within Salt Lake City, currently settled at Utah State Fairpark. With each edition, the lineup has grown to include a diverse mix of indie rock, alternative, and pop acts, making it a significant event in Utah's music scene. == Events ==
