At The Shop Workspace, we’ve always believed that creativity and community go hand in hand. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our continued sponsorship of Kilby Block Party 6, a four-day celebration of music, art, and local culture taking place right in the heart of Downtown Salt Lake City this May.
This year’s festival promises to be bigger than ever—four days, dozens of genre-bending artists, and thousands of fans gathering to celebrate everything that makes Salt Lake a vibrant place to live, work, and play. And for us, supporting Kilby Block Party isn’t just about having a good time (though we love that part too). It’s about showing up for our creative community, backing the artists and organizers who make Salt Lake City a culturally rich place to call home, and using our platform to amplify the magic happening just steps from our workspace.
And here’s the big news: new members at The Shop SLC will receive a complimentary 4-day pass to Kilby Block Party 6. Yep, you read that right. Join our community and get instant access to the best weekend in Salt Lake.
Why the Arts Matter to Us
As a workspace that welcomes everyone from startup teams to solo creatives, we know that a thriving arts scene is key to building a thriving city. When artists have platforms, when musicians have stages, and when organizers like S&S Presents have the community support they need, we all benefit. It creates a ripple effect: small businesses grow, neighborhoods become more vibrant, and people feel more connected to where they live and work.
This is especially true in Salt Lake City. As a city with a long-standing creative undercurrent, events like Kilby Block Party give artists and fans alike the opportunity to come together, celebrate independent spirit, and push culture forward. Supporting the arts isn’t just a good deed—it’s an investment in the kind of place we all want to be a part of.
Celebrating Our Partnership with S&S Presents
Our partnership with S&S Presents is one we’re incredibly proud of. These are the folks who’ve been curating experiences and booking the bands you love for years—long before Kilby Court was a nationally known launchpad for indie talent. What started as a DIY music venue tucked away behind a coffee shop has turned into one of the most anticipated music festivals in the West.
S&S doesn’t just throw shows; they cultivate culture. Their commitment to local musicians, thoughtful curation, and community-first ethos aligns perfectly with our values at The Shop. We’re not just sponsors—we’re fans, collaborators, and believers in what they’re building.
That’s why when the opportunity came to support Kilby Block Party 6, there was no hesitation. We’re honored to be back as sponsors and even more excited to invite our new members along for the ride.
The Kilby Lineup: A Cultural Crossroads
This year’s lineup is, in a word, stacked. While we won’t try to pick favorites (ok, maybe we will—Weezer and Beach House? Come on!), the real magic of Kilby Block Party is the blend of legacy acts, buzzy up-and-comers, and local legends all on the same bill. It’s not just a music festival—it’s a showcase of the now, the next, and the never-forget.
What makes this festival truly unique is how it feels both massive and intimate. Set against the backdrop of the Utah State Fairgrounds, Kilby Block Party keeps you close to the stage and surrounded by local flavor. From record vendors to food trucks to local vendors, there’s more than music to explore—there’s a whole ecosystem of makers and dreamers sharing their work.
