Newspapers and media companies nationwide are closing or suffering mass layoffs since the coronavirus impacted all of us starting in March. City Weekly's entire existence is directly tied to people getting together in groups--in clubs, restaurants, and at concerts and events--which are the industries most affected by new coronavirus regulations.
Our industry is not healthy. Yet, City Weekly has continued publishing thanks to the generosity of readers like you. Utah needs independent journalism more than ever, and we're asking for your continued support of our editorial voice. We are fighting for you and all the people and businesses hardest hit by this pandemic.
You can help by making a one-time or recurring donation on PressBackers.com, which directs you to our Galena Fund 501(c)(3) non-profit, a resource dedicated to help fund local journalism. It is never too late. It is never too little. Thank you.

For all of you Local First Utah
enthusiasts, you know full well this is Independents Week.
Or
for those of you out of the loop, from June 27th to July
4th, locally owned businesses and organizations mark the
occasion by having special deals and promotions, as well as events
throughout the city. Leading all up to the final event at Farmer's
Market this Saturday which includes a chef face-off. Like Iron
Chef... only local with no subtitles. But tonight Local First throws
their first local music festival at The State Room. Starting at 9PM you can catch Purdymouth, Paul Jacobson & The Madison Arm, and
finishing out the evening to celebrate the release of their new album
33 is Townie.
Tickets are a $10 donation at the door
which includes food, and a cash bar on hand. Head over, grab an album, and celebrate all things local.
