Lady Lake is an annual music festival for the Great Salt Lake.

A new Utah tradition built around music, spectacle, and the return of Lady Lake.

Come for the festival, leave with the lake on your mind.

Why Lady Lake?

A symbol.
A celebration.
A tradition for the lake.

Lady Lake brings music and conservation together around a monumental ice sculpture—a welcoming spirit of the Great Salt Lake. At the festival’s finale, she melts. The following morning, her water is ceremonially returned to the Great Salt Lake. It’s a shared ritual that makes the lake’s struggle visible and brings people together to act.

A new Utah tradition
set to music.

The lake is dying.
Do something about it.

Net proceeds support efforts to restore water to the Great Salt Lake and advance policies that protect its future.

Food, drink, art, makers, and multicultural vendors surround the music.

From the first note until Lady Lake returns, the music doesn’t stop.
