Gallivan Center

The Gallivan Center is an urban plaza in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It opened in 1993. Located between State, Main, 200 South and Broadway, it serves as Salt Lake City's outdoor living room. It is furnished with an array of unique art projects, an amphitheater/stage, ice rink, large chess board, light wells and an aviary. An adjacent UTA TRAX station takes its name from the plaza, and used to serve as the transfer point for connecting to and from the Salt Lake/Sandy line and the University line. Countless events fill the Gallivan Center with people and crowds gather daily for weekday lunches and lunchtime concerts. Especially popular are summertime twilight concerts. A "Blues and Brews" festival usually occurs on a September weekend. It was popular gathering place during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Kazuo Matsubayashi's Asteroid Landed Softly Sundial is one of the prominent features of the plaza.
