Ages: All
“From Oscar-winning filmmakers Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, “Wild Life” follows conservationist Kris Tompkins on an epic, decades-spanning love story as wild as the landscapes she dedicated her life to protecting. After falling in love in mid-life, Kris and the outdoorsman and entrepreneur Doug Tompkins left behind the world of the massively successful outdoor brands they’d helped pioneer like Patagonia, The North Face, and Esprit, and turned their attention to a visionary effort to create National Parks throughout Chile and Argentina. “Wild Life” chronicles the highs and lows of their journey to effect the largest private land donation in history. In collaboration with Utah Film Center, ACE is ecstatic to host the National Geographic film, WILD LIFE, under the stars in the mountains of Alta. Gather up your favorite people and food and head up to Alta to enjoy a movie in the mountains! Ticket sales and donations support Utah Film Center & Alta Community Enrichment. FACTS & TIPS:
- You must bring your own LOW chairs and they must be 31.5” height or less. Or blankets to sit on.
- Picnic dinners are allowed. NO GRILLS.
- If two separate households would like to be near each other we recommend arriving at the same time.
- No dogs, unless tagged by the Town of Alta or an ADA service dog.
- Prepare for chilly mountain evenings, bring blankets and layers.
- If you have questions regarding accessibility to our events, please contact Sara Gibbs, Executive Director.”

Ages: All
“The name of the band is The Glitter Bombs! Vibrant, enthusiastic, energetic, positive and super freak’n fun! These are the best words to use when describing The Glitter Bombs! Having a sound all of their own defies genre, but if they had to pick one they would say Power Pop. Reaching out to the Intermountain West, The Glitter Bombs are based in Utah. A classic four piece with guitar, bass, drums and vocals. (Sounds Like: Wet Leg, Sheryl Crow, The Beths, Blondie, Joan Jett).”
