Murray sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, and most of its event life happens along Little Cottonwood Creek. The 63-acre Murray Park holds a summer amphitheater and a converted 1949 armory, the historic Murray Theater is back open on State Street, and the county-run Wheeler Historic Farm hosts barn receptions a few miles east.
True AV brings sound, lighting, staging, LED video walls and backline to Murray concerts, company parties, hospital and corporate gatherings, and weddings. Our shop is in Bluffdale, a straight run down the valley, and you get an itemized proposal, usually the same day, plus a named lead on show day.

Murray Central is one of only three stations where TRAX (Blue and Red lines) and FrontRunner meet. Intermountain Medical Center sits just east of it, with a free weekday shuttle from the platform. For medical and corporate groups, attendees from Ogden to Provo can arrive by train.
Murray was settled in 1849 as South Cottonwood and incorporated in 1903. Eight smelters ran here between 1870 and 1900, which earned it the nickname Hub of the Smelter Industry. That history shows up in its venues: a 1938 movie house and a 1949 armory are now two of its main event rooms.
Murray City Arts runs an evening series at the park amphitheater from early June to mid-September, usually three or four musicals and six or seven concerts. Private events in the park should be planned around that calendar and its parking.
The Art Moderne Murray Theater first opened in October 1938 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It reopened in September 2025 after a restoration of more than $3 million, with 333 seats, laser projection, new sound and production systems, and an orchestra pit on a lift.
Arts in the Park musicals and concerts, community festivals and occasional touring acts
AV note: A 2016-17 remodel added a roof over the stage, changing rooms and a green room. Parking is split between a lot off 5300 South and the Parks office lot, both linked by footpaths.

Activity Barn receptions and dinners, Outdoor Education Center meetings, lawn and pavilion events
AV note: No alcohol anywhere on the property. Renters handle setup and cleanup inside their rental hours. The West Lawn pavilion has only six power outlets.
Private venues with strong event teams, great rooms and a smooth load-in. The kind of places where the production side just works.

Yes. The theater's site has a rental page, and the city describes the restored venue as a space for concerts, productions, film screenings, public meetings and school events. It has 333 seats and new sound and production systems, so the first step is to confirm what the house package covers and what you need to add.
Murray City lists seating for 250. The Murray Journal reported that the building was designed for up to 300 guests. Use 250 seated as your planning number unless the city confirms otherwise for your layout.
No. Salt Lake County does not allow alcohol or smoking anywhere on the Wheeler Farm property, and an event found serving alcohol can be ended and lose its deposit. If a bar is essential, look at a different venue.
Tell us the date and venue. We’ll send an itemized proposal, usually the same day.
