Thanksgiving and Holiday Events

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us at Utah.com.

Most businesses across Utah will be closed on Thanksgiving Day. Many a will be open for skiing, and gas stations, hotels/motels, restaurants and convenience stores will also be open. Emergency services will be available statewide, as they are every day of the year.

Stores will open early Friday morning, to accommodate people who are suddenly getting earnest about Christmas shopping.

Christmas light displays will be turned on Friday evening, including the spectacular display at Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City.

Three other areas in downtown Salt Lake City will have impressive light displays, part of the Downtown Alliance Lights On! event. The displays are at Macy’s at the Downtown Malls, the Gallivan Center and The Gateway.

Thanksgiving Point, located halfway between Salt Lake City and Provo, also features an impressive light display.
