City Creek Center will hold a Charity/Preview Gala on Wednesday, March 21, the day before City Creek Center opens, from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. I can't help but think how awesome this center will be for our city, and people, there is going to be a Tiffany & Co. Utah is getting all grown up. I am stoked. Now, to convince Flavio I need a gift from Tiffany & Co. this year for our anniversary. (*Hint*)
Adult tickets are $50, but each person will receive a $20 VISA card for ticket purchase. Each ticket purchaser will also receive deals at the shops, along with being one of the first to shop at City Creek Center before it even opens.
The night will include complimentary parking, continuous entertainment, food and refreshments throughout the center and shopping throughout the evening.
I think the most amazing thing about this night is that all of the proceeds are going to benefit people and animals in need in our city. City Creek Center Charity Gala will 100% benefit local charities, including The Road Home, Ballet West, Junior League of Salt Lake City and Utah’s Hogle Zoo.
Information about this event, as well as how to purchase tickets can be found at City Creek Center’s website http://www.
I have been so excited to share this night with you, and I hope beyond hope to see you there, that I went and photographed a few of my favorite things about City Creek Center. Enjoy:
