The annual Lindquist Family Symphony Pops and Fireworks will attract thousands of people to Weber State University, July 18 from 9-11 p.m.

Now in its 42nd year, the celebrations are a welcome return to normal after last year’s event was cancelled due to the pandemic. Initiated by John A. and Telitha E. Lindquist in 1978, the Lindquist Pops is a longstanding tradition in northern Utah that brings the community together each year. John E. Lindquist, President of Lindquist Mortuaries and Cemeteries in Ogden, proudly continues this tradition.

“We are so grateful to the Lindquist family for continuing the tradition of the Lindquist Pops Concert, said President Brad Mortensen. “After all that we have endured as individuals and a community during the pandemic, coming together to celebrate provides real evidence of turning the pandemic corner. We are happy to bring a wonderful community together again on our beautiful campus for a joyous celebration.”

The New American Philharmonic, directed by Shannon Roberts, will provide a free 60-minute concert beginning at 9 p.m. at the Ada Lindquist Plaza. The performance will include a selection of patriotic music, featuring Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” with a battery of 16 cannons provided by Cannoneers of the Wasatch to accompany. The group has provided the cannons each year for the concert since it started in 1978.

At approximately 10 p.m., attendees will enjoy one of the largest fireworks displays in Utah, accompanied by the symphony. Due to drought conditions, extra precautions are being exercised with this year’s fireworks display, including the possibility of canceling the show if wind and weather conditions pose threats.

Several food trucks will be on hand to sell drinks and refreshments.

On-campus parking and seating will be available, but may be limited due to ongoing construction of the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system through campus. The roundabouts off Harrison Boulevard and Dixon Drive will be closed to traffic. Access to campus will be through Edvalson Street, Skyline Drive, and Birch and Taylor avenues.

Guests traveling in motor homes or larger vehicles are encouraged to park on the east side of campus near Stewart Stadium. The Dee Events Center also offers additional parking.

To minimize damage to the grounds, attendees may not leave blankets or chairs to save spaces before July 17 at 6 p.m. Items placed on the lawn prior to that time will be removed. Tarps, stakes and tent pegs are not allowed due to safety concerns and will be removed. No personal fireworks or pets will be allowed on campus, with the exception of service animals. Spectators are asked to clean up their area and drive with courtesy and caution following the event.

As the weekend is coming closer, we are thrilled to announce a revamp of one of our bike trails that is accessible now! The Squirrel Downhill Bike Trail located near the base area has been revamped by our trail crew the last few weeks and you can now give it a try. You can access it just above the Wildcat Parking Lot and it flows down through the trees to come out near the bottom of the Earl’s Parking Lots.

This past winter our new access ski trail to Canyon Rim Parking went directly through a large portion of the old Squirrel downhill bike trail. So this spring our Trail Crew has been busy building two new sections of trails built to allow the Squirrel trail to reopen with a better flow. There is a new optional rock drop on the lower section of the trail, that will offer a more advanced route. The revamped Squirrel Trail is open for guests to enjoy and well marked. You can access it near the Wildcat Parking Lot. This is the first trail maintenance ever done with our new mini excavator and operator. With this trail revamped, we will continue to work on improving the biking experience around Snowbasin. In the next few weeks our team will be focusing on the upper Needles Trail as the snow melts before we open for biking for summer operations.

Remember Needles Gondola opens for summer operations on Saturday, June 12th.

Snowbasin Resort releases the schedules for its free summer music series, Blues, Brews & BBQ and SnowWiesn. Blues, Brews & BBQ will begin on August 1 with opening day music from Andy Frasco and Kris Lager, then an event each Sunday through Labor Day Sundays between September 12 and October 3. Events will run 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm on Sundays in conjunction with regular summer operations 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Music is brought to you by Mountain Town Music.

In addition, to live music, Earl’s Lodge will be serving a variety of delicious food options along with a great selection of local beers on tap. Guests can enjoy a morning hiking or biking and spend the afternoon listening to free live music in the mountains. Both adults and children will be able to test their skills at the Wildflower Mini Golf Course and if you have a 21-22 Premier Season Pass, you can enjoy unlimited access to Needles Gondola. Season Passes for next winter are on sale now.

Commemorative mugs will be sponsored by Roosters Brewing and available for purchase, where guests can refill the mug during the 2021 concert series. Snowbasin and Roosters are looking forward to collaborating on a SnowWiesn beer that will debut at the start of the festival.

“We’re thrilled to bring back our local’s favorite summer concert series with 10 exciting events scheduled”, said Alan Dickerson, Director of Food and Beverage. “Each Sunday starting in August, we’ll welcome guests with free live music and great food and drink offerings at our outdoor festivals. We hope you’ll join us and experience the year-round beauty at Snowbasin.”
