# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Sun Tavern Historic Marker Unveiling
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 04 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Join the Mildred Berryman Institute and community partners for the unveiling and dedication of a new historical marker commemorating the Sun Tavern and its important place in Utah’s LGBTQ+ history.

Opened by Joe Redburn in 1973, the Sun Tavern quickly became more than a neighborhood bar. It served as an important gathering place and de facto community center for Salt Lake City’s Gay community, providing a space where people could meet, build friendships, organize, and find community at a time when openly LGBTQ+ spaces were limited. Redburn also helped organize Utah’s first public Gay and Lesbian event in 1974, laying important groundwork for the Pride celebrations and LGBTQ+ activism that followed.

The dedication will bring together members of Utah’s LGBTQ+ community, historians, advocates, and others to recognize the people and places that shaped this history. The event will include the unveiling of the historical marker and reflections on the Sun Tavern, Joe Redburn, and the community that made the space meaningful.

Additional program details may be announced as they are finalized.
