The opportunity to be part of a historical event in Dinosaur National Monument opened Wednesday and has a narrow window. The Utah Symphony is making their final stop this summer on their “Great American Road Trip” within the boundaries of the actual monument on September 2nd. While parks and monuments have been listed as stops on Utah Symphony tours of the past, this announcement holds historic value because those concerts were only held near the parks. “It is a huge deal that we are having the concert actually inside the borders of Dinosaur National Monument,” shares Uintah County Director of Travel and Tourism Lesha Coltharp. “This is not something that just happens. In fact, this is the first time they have allowed anything like this.” The Utah Office of Tourism and Utah Symphony have worked together on national park tours for several years, with ‘The Mighty 5’ tour considered an amazing success the last few years. Holding those concerts within the borders of any of the Mighty 5 parks never actually happened, however, because of the complicated permitting process, making the upcoming Utah Symphony concert within Dinosaur National Monument a historical event. Tickets to the Dinosaur National Monument performance on the ‘Great American Road Trip’ tour opened up Wednesday. They are free but required. Visit www.my.usuo.org to reserve your tickets today.
