Our Community Calendar is a volunteer-run resource offered to all qualified nonprofits. Community Calendar events are highlighted live, on-air throughout the day on KCPW. Featured events are chosen at random. You will also find all current Community Calendar events listed here at kcpw.org.
The Community Calendar also has a physical home. Following the criteria listed below, mail or bring professional materials (no handwritten signs please) promoting your event to the KCPW studios at 210 East 400 South, Suite 10, Salt Lake City, UT 84111. We’ll happily hang them in our window for all Library Square traffic to see.
To submit an event to the Community Calendar, the event must meet the following criteria:
- The event must take place in Utah.
- The organization promoting the event must be a qualified 501(c)(3) charity or political subdivision.

We encourage you to make the most of your post by adding a featured image and links to your organization. Utilize the provided field boxes (i.e. location, ticket information) to display information as accurately and quickly as possible.

Run, walk or trot with Girls on the Run Utah as we celebrate the season of giving. This early bird turkey trot is perfect for young kids, families and friends. Come out in your favorite turkey attire or make a donation for fun turkey swag. The 5K event is non-competitive and will not be officially timed.
In the spirit of community, we will be having a donation drive benefiting the Fourth Street Clinic. All new or clean and gently used winter gloves, hats and scarfs will be collected. ✨
Girls on the Run Utah is a nonprofit after-school program that empowers 3rd-8th grade girls of all abilities to be joyful, healthy and confident using a fun curriculum that creatively integrates running.
Facilitated by Davina Smith, first Diné woman to run for the Utah House of Representatives and the leader of the first prayer run from Bears Ears National Monument to the Salt Lake Capitol.

In this experiential journey, Davina Smith, a Diné woman born in Monument Valley and currently running to become the first female Diné representative in our state’s history, will guide us back into the origin stories of the land, of the indigenous communities who have lived here, into the rippling impacts of colonization, through to the new beginnings ahead.
Together, we will step through different perspectives, emotional healing, and resilience training as we gain deep understanding around our own personal and collective histories, and the opportunity to reconcile past trauma into current meaning on our own journeys.
Following the indigenous blanket experience, we will come together within a Talking Circle, a traditional indigenous ritual of teaching, learning, and healing in spirit.

The day will include guided embodiment, writing practice, a communal ritual, an opportunity to connect in small groups, a community circle, and of course, there will be gorgeous poetry woven throughout.
I deeply believe in the power of an intentional community coming together to practice movement and stillness, quiet and connection, inviting our love and gratitude, inviting the difficult guest of grief, and, having been tenderized by those wise guests, freshly visioning how we might bring our unique gifts to co-create the more beautiful world we wish to see manifest. As Francis Weller says, “This is the solitary work that we cannot do alone.”
What I won’t do in this gathering is stand in front of you and talk and talk and feed you a bunch of information as if I’m the expert on what you need.
What I will do is invite your fully embodied presence, the wisdom and the concerns, the blessings and the aches, the gratitudes and burdens, the hopes, dreads, visions, creative inspirations, and unique gifts to come more clearly into awareness so they can offer their wise guidance. You’ll have an opportunity to share in a supportive community where it will all be met with respect, care and encouragement.
We’ll take enlivening, fresh perspectives on what’s unfolding in our lives by seeing with new eyes, and we’ll invite clarity to emerge to guide us as we return to our life, renewed, embodied, and inspired to begin again, going forth at least half a shade braver.

Zahi Hawass, Egyptian archaeologist, former Minister of Antiquities and discoverer of pyramids, mummies and lost cities will speak at the University of Utah’s Kingsbury Hall on Monday, December 19, 2022 at 7:30 p.m. His presentation is titled “Secrets of the Pharaohs: Pyramids, Tut, Mummies and the Golden City.”
Free in-person film screening and Q&A led by the Black, Bold and Brilliant team featuring film director John Alexander and film subject Sharon Preston Folta via Zoom.
Little Satchmo is an intimate exploration of the iconic Louis Armstrong’s life and legacy through his relationship with the daughter that the public never knew existed. Based on a revealing memoir written by Armstrong’s silent daughter, the film seeks to correct a historical narrative relying on caricature for too long.
Louis Daniel Armstrong, nicknamed “Satchmo”, had an illustrious career that spanned five decades. Due to his unique music styling, charisma, and gritty vocals, he is credited with changing the focus of jazz music from “collective improvisation” to solo performance. With an eye for the ladies, Armstrong had several failed marriages but remained with his fourth wife Lucille Wilson until his death in 1971. During his marriage to Wilson, Armstrong had a long time affair with Lucille Preston. Together they had a daughter, Sharon, who Louis lovingly called “Little Satchmo”. To protect them and his career, Lucille and Sharon lived in the shadows of his limelight.
