The Salt Lake Unity Fest will be held December 12-15, 2019 at the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Fest is a multi-day event uniting the LGBTQ+ community and our allies, through sports and exclusive events. This annual festival will feature sport competitions and fun nightly events that will showcase the best of Salt Lake’s urban amenities.

At the inaugural event, volleyball, pickleball, basketball, dodgeball, swimming, bowling, futsal, roller derby, and trivia will debut. Competition is open to anyone age 18 or older. Participants may register as an individual or as a team for any of the nine sporting events. Registration begins at just $75. More information can be found at: https://www.saltlakeunityfest.com/register. Deadline for registration is Nov. 25, 2019

Sports Festivals are popping up all over the country and the LGBTQ+ Community deserves to be introduced to an incredibly welcoming, inclusive, and urban city that can host a sports fest,” says Michelle McCardell, event organizer. 

Each night, community events will take place at the Salt Palace to raise money to benefit local LGBTQ+ organizations. The benefitted organizations include Encircle, the Utah Pride Center, Stonewall Sports SLC, and Queer Spectra Arts.

The Salt Lake Unity Fest would be impossible without the invaluable partnership of Visit Salt Lake, the Utah Pride Center, the Utah Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, Stonewall Sports SLC, and the Queer Utah Aquatic Club (QUAC).
