In the last week or so, we’ve experienced some warmer than usual weather, with temperatures hitting the upper 90s along the Wasatch Front. If you thought that was hot, just wait until August! Luckily, there’s an exciting way to cool off, and it’s coming to Salt Lake City on August 12th. Get your tickets now for Slide The City.

Mark your calendar for August 12th, because an epic waterslide is coming to Salt Lake City. This 1,000-foot-long slide will be set up on Main Street and North Temple.

There’s nothing as exhilarating as flying through downtown Salt Lake on a waterslide - especially one that’s as long as three football fields!

Don’t worry - the slide is cushioned underneath, so you don’t have to worry about the hard pavement below.

The slide might be the star of the show, but the whole block turns into one big party, with live music, entertainment and food trucks so you can grab lunch or a snack in between slides.
