COVID-19 UPDATES & INFORMATION
Our Response to COVID-19:
Red Butte Garden is a state arboretum established by the Utah Legislature at the University of Utah, which is also a state entity. Two bills were passed in 2021-22 by the Utah Legislature barring the University of Utah and Red Butte Garden from requiring face-coverings or requiring vaccinations for visitors and guests attending events. Red Butte Garden will continue to encourage all of our guests to follow health and safety guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Salt Lake County Health Department.
