Murray outlines America 250 programming: tree plantings, Fundays and museum exhibits planned
Summary
City staff described Murray’s America 250 activities — 40 trees planted in Murray Park with Tree Utah, themed Fundays programming (parade, concerts, possible Murray Theater movie showings), a museum lego build and youth writing contests — and invited council and residents to participate.
City recreation and cultural staff updated the Murray City Council on local plans for America 250 Utah, a statewide commemoration. Staff said Murray partnered with Tree Utah and volunteers to plant 40 trees in Murray Park as a service project and will highlight American artists in the amphitheater season and themed activities across city programs.
Staff described July museum exhibits and a large Lego build replicating Murray City Hall, planned Fundays programming including a parade, chalk art, an 80s tribute band for evening entertainment and a tentative movie showing at the renovated Murray Theater (staff said Hamilton was the leading option pending final confirmation). Staff also outlined youth activities such as a writing contest and a concert series focused on American artists.
The council asked about logistics and whether council members would receive event shirts for parade participation; staff said shirts would be provided and that they are coordinating theater showtimes and outreach.
Staff encouraged residents to check the America 250 Utah statewide calendar and Murray’s event pages for details and volunteer opportunities.
