With a new splash pad opening in North Salt Lake to celebrate the Fourth of July, a first-ever patriotic concert held at the Davis Center for the Performing Arts in Centerville, and plenty of parades and fireworks to go around, Davis County residents will have a variety of festivities to look forward to in July.
After four years of planning a new 13-acre park, North Salt Lake is finally ready to open it to the public. It includes the use of a splash pad larger than Salt Lake’s Gateway splash pad. The opening of Foxboro Regional Park, located at 1100 North Skipton Drive will be the start of the city’s Independence Day celebrations on Saturday at 9 a.m.

Gary Herbert speaking to residents and musical performances from the “Civil War” musical, currently being performed at the theater along with Utah Voices. With only 525 seats in the theater, tickets for the performance have already sold out.
However, residents can still enjoy the arts by visiting the art and quilt exhibit in the lobby of the Davis Center for the Performing Arts at 525 North 400 West in Centerville through Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
