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.
- The event cannot promote a religious organization or individual.
If your event meets these criteria, click “Post Your Event” below. Include your contact information in case we have any questions. Otherwise, your event may not get published.
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.
Please do not submit duplicate postings for the same event. If you are posting a class or workshop that requires registration, list just the first instance in the date and time, and include the details for subsequent classes in the description.
NOTE: approved events are typically posted to the Community Calendar within seven days of your submission.
Please submit requests at least 14 days before your event – listings read on-air are chosen at random, the week of the event.
Technical issues? Please email comments@kcpw.org.
Try out all the classes we have to offer for just $10 for the entire day! Come for one or stay for all! It’s the same price all day.

“The glorious strains of gospel music wash over the West Bank in Field’s potent film. As the Palestinian National Theater and an African-American choir mount a touring play about Martin Luther King Jr., written by Stanford Professor and King scholar Clayborne Carson, an impassioned cultural exchange ensues, new friendships are forged and attitudes are altered.” –Clarity Films

Are you a fan of The Beatles? Do your toes start tapping at the thought of “Let it be”, “Hey Jude”, “Yellow Submarine” or “I want to hold your hand”? On April 17th, Salt Lake’s own BeatALS will bring their songs back to fight against ALS. Listen to live Beatles music performed by BeatALS and support families that are dealing with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Bring your friends, grab your family, and load up the kids for a fun evening to support a good cause and hear the most iconic band come back to life.
On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember Germany’s war against the Jews. Here a modern, industrialized state transcended its national borders to commit the mass murder of innocent people. In the end, two-thirds of Europe’s Jews and one-third of the world’s Jewish population were slaughtered. Although thousands of miles away, Americans proved less than innocent bystanders to these events.
This discussion will explore the beliefs and values of the perpetrators of genocide, to realize the roles of leaders and opinion makers in shaping the perceptions of those who followed. Yet, in remembering the past, we must weigh our responsibilities in the present. What does the increasing normalization of anti-Semitism in the United States portend for American Jews and the core values and institutions of our country?
Panelists:
Amos Guiora, Ph.D.

Gretchen E. Henderson returns to the Tanner Humanities Center to launch her fifth book, Life in the Tar Seeps: A Spiraling Ecology from a Dying Sea, which grew from her position as Annie Clark Tanner Fellow in Environmental Humanities from 2017-2019. She explores Great Salt Lake as a watershed for reperceiving overlooked places to approach environmental healing.
Come learn about the new local non-profit organization, @Deepwater Conservation Initiative, co-founded by master scuba diver @Sean Hopewell.
Sean will give us an overview of how the DWC began, the issues they are trying to address at a local level, with a focus on how local citizens can get involved helping to support priority projects, including habitat restoration and other volunteer opportunities.
Touching on current issues such as drought and depleted reservoirs, the current status of Lake Powell and the Great Salt Lake, and diving into endangered and invasive aquatic species such as the the Quagga mussel, boreal toads & the Colorado pikeminnow — we’ll enjoy an informative and engaging education on our local environment, while sipping on cider!
Joining us as host for the evening talk and Q&A moderator will be local state Senator Nate Blouin, who is a vocal advocate for enjoying and preserving Utah’s outdoor recreational resources, and is dedicated to clean and renewable energy, and of course, tackling Utah’s water crisis at the legislative and local community levels.

21+ only. Valid ID required.
League of Women Voters Salt Lake April General Meeting will host Dr. Angela Dunn, Executive Director of Salt Lake County Health Department and Prof. Phillip Singer of U of Utah Department of Public Science.

Thankfully (hopefully?), spring is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with a breezy Kilby show.

Come out to Kilby Court on Thursday, April 20 (doors at 7, music at 8) for the show. SLUG Localized is sponsored by Riso Geist.
A choreographic response to the landscape gives us a fresh perspective and ways to see, understand and evaluate the world. “If the earth does grow inhospitable toward human presence, it is primarily because we have lost our sense of courtesy toward the earth and its inhabitants, our sense of gratitude, our willingness to recognizer the sacred character of habitat, our capacity for the awesome, for the numinous quality of every earthly reality. (Thomas Berry)
