This year’s electrifying Ogden Twilight concert season continues this Saturday with Louis The Child, Washed Out and Rome in Silver.

Grab dinner and shop around from various food trucks and vendors, and expect incredible performances and big energy from the sold-out audiences. The official Ogden Twilight after-parties will be held at nearby bars, Alleged and Unspoken.

Sunday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.; The Monarch, 455 25th St.; free; facebook.com/indieogden.
