Thank you for making Sailfest 2025 a success!

On Saturday, more than 600 Utahns came together at Great Salt Lake State Park to celebrate the lake we love. From cardboard boat races and a sailing regatta to live music, mosaic making, and hands-on learning, Sailfest 2025 was full of energy, connection, and fun.

For many, it was their first time setting foot on the shores of Great Salt Lake. And with that first visit came a deeper understanding of just how dire the situation is—and how much we stand to lose. People left not only informed, but inspired. Dozens signed up to volunteer with Grow the Flow, and many more left with a renewed sense of purpose and hope.

We’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen—our volunteers, partners, artists, musicians, educators, sponsors, and every single attendee who showed up. Restoring Great Salt Lake will require coordinated policy change and broad public support—both of which depend on a shared sense of connection and care for the lake.
