See you at 801 Day! (City Cast Salt Lake)

Mark your calendars for a whale of a party: 801 Day 2026 is going to be the Salt Lake event of the year.

Expect a beer garden hosted by Neighbors Bar, live music sponsored by KRCL, a local marketplace, and a huge surprise: the unveiling of the new mural for "Out of the Blue" aka the 9th and 9th Whale! This is a party by locals, for locals. The City Cast Salt Lake team will be there, and we can't wait to celebrate with you!

801 Day is a new holiday honoring our favorite area code — but really, it’s a one-of-a-kind celebration of the quirks and delights that unite us as locals and make our community great. City Cast Salt Lake hosted our inaugural 801 Day event in 2023, and we're psyched to keep the party going.
