Your Guide to May in Salt Lake

Host Ali Vallarta and Deseret News columnist Meg Walter bring you a guide to what to expect and how to make the most of this month, from the end of school to the start of festival season. Plus, if you plan on hitting up one of the music festivals mentioned, don’t miss our episode on how to be a good concert goer.
