About Great Saltair

The original Saltair opened as a resort pavilion in 1893 and has burned down and rebuilt more than once since; today's building operates as a concert and event venue on the lakeshore. Its onion-domed silhouette against the water and the Oquirrh Mountains makes it one of the valley's most photographed buildings. Check the event calendar before visiting, since it is not generally open outside of shows.
