Kilby Block Party 2026! May 15th - 17th at The Utah State Fairpark

Kilby Block Party is an independent music festival that began in 2019 as a literal block party which celebrated Salt Lake City’s longest-running, all-ages venue Kilby Court. 2026 marks Kilby Court’s 27th year of being open! In 2026, KBP will be entering its 7th year—now holding the reputation as the largest indie music festival to ever happen in Salt Lake City with ~25k attendees per day from all over the world. Our dream with KBP is to recreate the supportive atmosphere of this beloved venue by bringing together SLC’s music community with some of our favorite artists. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped make Kilby Block Party special over the years, and we look forward to celebrating with you again in 2026 for Kilby Court’s 27th birthday!
