Event production in West Jordan, Utah

West Jordan is Utah's third-largest city, with 116,961 people in 2020, and most of its event life clusters in one civic area: City Hall, the county's Viridian Event Center, Veterans Memorial Park and the rodeo arena that anchors the Western Stampede every July.

We produce West Jordan events from our shop a few miles south in Bluffdale. True AV scales from a Viridian breakout to an outdoor stage with generator power, and we read the city's facility rules before we quote, so the permit, electrician and sound requirements show up in the plan, not on show day.

What makes West Jordan different for events

The Western Stampede

Every July 2 to 4 the city runs PRCA rodeo nights at the West Jordan Arena, a carnival at Veterans Memorial Park, a parade on Redwood Road, a drone show and Fourth of July fireworks. Rodeo tickets double as UTA fare.

Rodeo roots since the 1950s

Amateur rodeos started here in 1950, and there has been a rodeo nearly every year since 1959. By 1960 the park had arena seating for 4,000 and hosted nationally televised boxing.

A pioneer mill turned event village

Gardner Village grew from Archibald Gardner's 1850s flour mill into a district of shops, restaurants and banquet rooms. It fills up for WitchFest in the fall and Christmas in the Village, so holiday party space goes fast.

Six TRAX stops and a mid-city airport

The TRAX Red Line has six stations in West Jordan, and the Viridian Event Center is walking distance from West Jordan City Center station. South Valley Regional Airport, a general aviation field, sits beside the Jordan Landing shopping district.

The city can require electricians

Under West Jordan's facility use policy, organizers can be made to pay for traffic control, monitors for amplified sound and onsite certified electricians. Special event and arena applications are due six weeks ahead.

Private venues

Venues we enjoy in West Jordan

Private venues with strong event teams, great rooms and a smooth load-in. The kind of places where the production side just works.

The Gathering Place at Gardner Village

Dedicated event coordinators and an in-house chef run 8,000 square feet of space, with a Grand Ballroom that seats 250 at rounds or 400+ theater style and a long record of company and holiday parties.

The Gathering Place is West Jordan's strongest private room, but it is banquet-scale. For a larger ballroom or a more produced general session, neighboring South Jordan and Sandy have bigger rooms, and we work in both.
