Temple Square Lights


*The event has already taken place on this date: Tue, 01/02/2018
The brightest and most remarkable phenomenon that happens in downtown Salt Lake City is when Temple Square comes alive with festive lights and decorations for the Christmas holiday. Find joy and warmth beginning the day after Thanksgiving, when the lights are turned on for the first night. Not to be missed is the marvelous Cedar of Lebanon and the life size nativity scene staged on the lawn in front of the North Visitors Center, bringing focus to the reason for the season.

Please help us keep this calendar up to date! If this activity is sold out, canceled, or otherwise needs alteration, email mindy@kidsoutandabout.com so we can update it immediately. If you have a question about the activity itself, please contact the organization administrator listed below.

Along with the lights, find inspiration in the handmade paper lanterns bearing the message of “peace” in many different languages, as well as the variety of ethnic nativity scenes on display at the Church Office Building plaza. Traditional Christmas and gospel songs play in the background as you wander through the merrily-lit grounds but be sure to catch live performances from local bands, choirs, and artists that are featured in various venues around the 35 acres of Temple Square, providing the soundtrack to your Christmas time enjoyment.

To see the lights, come any day between Friday, November 25th and January 1st. The lights turn on every day at 5:30pm and stay on until 10:00pm. There are a few exceptions for this, however. On the nights of the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas Concert, taking place this year on December 8, 9, and 10, the lights will stay on until 11:00pm and on New Year’s Eve, they will stay on until 12:30am.
