Held the first Friday of the month from 6-9 PM, Ogden’s First Friday Art Stroll is abuzz year ‘round with exciting exhibit openings, artist receptions and live music of all genres in venues and in the  streets. Virtually becoming the “front porch” of Ogden, those that venture here are treated to great art, an atmosphere of camaraderie and inclusion and amazing night life. Small town feel, big city offerings.

Quickly becoming a festival favorite, Ogden’s Peery’s Egyptian Theater plays host to a wide variety of Sundance Festival Films. This year the selection included Director Rachel Perkin’s remake of Jimmy Chi’s very successful stage musical Bran Nue Dae. In her introduction to the film Perkins remarked, “recently a critic called my film, “a little cheesy” my film is not a “little cheesy” it is a double cheese whopper!”

Thousands of Ogdenites and friends came out in full force for a colorful Toboggan Parade down Historic 25th Street.
