Founded in 2010 and run by small committee, the Rooftop Concert Series came to life with the goal of revitalizing downtown Provo and creating a sense of artistic identity. The result? A musical event that can boast having over 2,500 concert-goers, an impressive lineup of talent, such as Imagine Dragons and The Moth & the Flame, cross-promotion with downtown businesses and strong community support.
Held on top of the Central Bank parking terrace, the free concerts (yes, free) take fresh musical talent from both the local and international scenes and give them the opportunity to perform for a large audience. Before the concerts, event-goers can enjoy a variety of community events from walking to various galleries during the Art Stroll or dining out at one of Provo’s many unique restaurants. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the opening band taking stage at 7:30 p.m.
