Friday Fun Nights were back at Riverton City Park (1452 W. 12600 South) during August, bringing residents together to enjoy an evening with friends

and family.

Every Friday, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., attendees could grab a meal from the Food Truck League and listen to live music from the Great Salt Lake Yacht Club, Cody Robbins, Goodnight Richard and Steven Bosco. There were market vendors, games, playgrounds and a splash pad for families to explore and each event finished with a family-friendly outdoor movie.

Miss Riverton Kylie Hallett attended the event to interact with city residents and encourage people to become active in
the community. 

“This gets people out of their houses, especially right now with the youth, there’s such a motivation to stay home and watch a screen,” Hallett said. “This is so good to get people out of the house and into the community and help you know what is in your community and what there is to do.”

Members of the Riverton City Youth Council were also in attendance, encouraging youth to get involved with city events and public service. 

“I’ve been on [the YCC] for two years, this is my third year,” said G Perry, YCC mayor pro tem. “It helps people understand the acity and to be more involved with their city.” λ
