Held at the intersection of 900 South and 900 East in Salt Lake City, the 9th and 9th Street Festival has become annual event where everyone from the city converges to enjoy food, fun and music.
This years event will be held all day on September 17th, 2011 and promises to be better than ever with an amazing line-up of performers and an eclectic mix of local artists, purveyors of fine foods and delights for both children and adults!
Sponsored by the East Liberty Community Council, the 9th and 9th Street Festival was conceived as a way to bring neighbors together in what has quickly become one of the city’s most unique, eclectic and desirable neighborhoods. This is a celebration of a neighborhood put on by neighbors. Its free, its fun, bring the dog, the kids, the stroller and come on down to join the fun. We invite musicians, dancers, artists and crafters to make the day.

The 9th and 9th Street Festival is proud to once again host the Wasatch Coaching Acadamy as our opening act! The Wasatch Coaching Academy not only gives students the opportunity to learn to play music, but they also give them the opportunity to perform before live audiences.
For many years, I have believed that young musicians in training need a place to get the coaching and experience needed to be effective combo and ensemble member… to explore, play and learn to love many kinds of music, and if they desire become prepared for a great musical experience in college, and as a future professional musician. The Wasatch Music Coaching Academy provides a complete opportunity for aspiring musicians to obtain the enjoyment and fulfillment they desire from their talents in music. With combo and ensemble coaching, superior music instruction, and a variety of programs, the student will develop the confidence and skills necessary to compete successfully in college music programs, create various levels of success in the music industry, or simply develop a sense of personal satisfaction with music. Through dedication, loyalty, and hard work on behalf of both the coaching team and the students, this vision becomes a reality.
