Arts & Culture

Arts and culture abound in Davis, with a wide variety of museums operating in the area along with musical and theater venues. Bountiful Davis Art Center features three spacious galleries as well as a recital stage and studio space, and the Davis Arts Council annually hosts its Summer Concert Series, Chamber Music Series, Free Friday Film Series and more. The council also oversees the Kenley Amphitheater, an outdoor performance space seating 1,800.

History is celebrated at several Davis museums including the Syracuse Museum and Cultural Center, the Heritage Museum of Layton, the Bountiful Museum and Learning Center and the Whitaker Museum in Centerville.

All these museums preserve the history of their respective cities and early citizens. Visitors can also learn about the past at Lagoon’s Pioneer Village, a reconstruction of a typical frontier community as it might have existed in the late 1800s, and the Charles W. Penrose Cabin Museum, which features a structure built for early Utah pioneer Charles W. Penrose.

The history of flight is the theme at Hill Aerospace Museum, located on about 30 acres of the northwest corner of Hill Air Force Base. The museum has more than 70 aircraft on display both inside and outside its facility and exhibits thousands of artifacts depicting the history of aviation of the U.S. Air Force, Hill Air Force Base and the State of Utah.

If the thought of chocolate makes your heart take flight, take a factory tour at Mrs. Cavanaugh’s Chocolates & Ice Cream in North Salt Lake.

Housed in the Davis Center for the Performing Arts, CenterPoint Legacy Theatre presents major musicals and plays throughout the year as well as hosts classes and summer camps. On Pitch Performing Arts also offers a full season of musicals and plays every year.
