Event production in Layton, Utah

Layton is the biggest city in Davis County, with more than 87,000 people, and it grew up next to Hill Air Force Base. In 1940 it was a farm town of about 600. Today it has a hotel district, a regional mall and a conference center, plus a downtown park where the Kenley Amphitheater brings touring acts every summer.

True AV brings sound, lighting, staging, LED walls and backline to Layton events, from amphitheater concerts to military ceremonies and company galas. Proposals come itemized, usually within a day, and one named lead runs the show from load-in to strike.

Know the city

What makes Layton different for events

Next door to Hill Air Force Base

Hill AFB borders Layton on the north, and its arrival in 1940 is what turned the town into a city. The Hill Aerospace Museum on base rents a gallery for up to 400, set up for retirements, promotions and changes of command.

A summer concert stage downtown

The Kenley Amphitheater opened in 1995 in Layton Commons Park, next to the Heritage Museum. It holds about 1,700 to 1,800 people and has hosted Chicago, Foreigner, Styx and REO Speedwagon. Summer Nights with the Stars shows go on rain or shine, and temperatures near 100 F are common.

Liberty Days on the Fourth

Layton's Fourth of July runs from a breakfast and flag raising at the Kenley to a parade, park booths, a free evening concert and fireworks. The parade is capped at 40 to 50 entries. The Commons area is packed all day, so plan any nearby load-in around it.

Easy to reach

Layton has three I-15 interchanges, a FrontRunner station on the old Union Pacific depot site, and more than 1,000 hotel beds in its hospitality district. Out-of-town attendees can stay within walking distance of the conference center.

FAQ

Event production in Layton: common questions

Can I rent the Kenley Amphitheater for a private concert or company event?

Yes. Layton City rents it from about the third week of May to the second week of October, and requests open the first Monday in April. The city's usage policy and fee schedule are on its website. We can supply the stage lighting, sound and backline the show needs.

Does the Davis Conference Center already have AV?

Yes, it has an in-house AV team and house sound. Many planners bring True AV in for the parts that make a general session or gala look finished: stage lighting, LED walls, extra audio and a dedicated show crew. We coordinate with the center's team from the start.

Can True AV support a retirement or change of command ceremony near Hill AFB?

Yes. The Hill Aerospace Museum's Skaggs Gallery comes with a stage, podium, mics and a projector. We can add audio for larger crowds, lighting or an LED wall, sized to the room and the ceremony.
