47th annual Lindquist Family Symphony Pops Concert

UPDATE: This year, the Lindquist Family Symphony Pops Concert will feature 500 drones instead of fireworks. Shifting from the event's traditional fireworks show to drones means audiences can still enjoy an unforgettable evening, while aligning with statewide efforts to minimize fire risk. 

The Lindquist Family Symphony Pops Concert has dazzled crowds and brought the community together since 1978. Held every summer at Weber State University, against the backdrop of the stunning Wasatch Mountains, this free community celebration has found a home in Ogden thanks to John A. and Telitha E. Lindquist.

Nearly 50 years later, John E. Lindquist, president of Lindquist Mortuaries and Cemeteries in Ogden, proudly continues the tradition. The event features an outdoor performance by the New American Philharmonic at the iconic Ada Lindquist Plaza at the heart of campus. The performance includes Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture” with a battery of 16 cannons provided by the Cannoneers of the Wasatch. The night will conclude with illuminated drones flying in sync to a soundtrack. Food trucks and other vendors will also be on site.

We hope you’ll join us — again or for the first time — for this spectacular tradition!
