Kilby Block Party is Salt Lake City’s largest indie music festival, and it’s coming back for another year this May.
The block party will take place at the Utah State Fairpark from May 15 to 18, 2025. The festival’s lineup includes headliners New Order, Beach House, Weezer and Justice. It is an ideal way for music lovers to spend the weekend listening to live music, eating food and more.
Not sure what to wear to the event? Here are some ideas:
Because Utah’s spring weather is often unpredictable, it can be difficult to know how to dress for an outdoor fairground. Because of these circumstances, layers are a must for the block party. Wearing clothing that are easy to add or remove helps attendees prepare for any weather.
Maxi skirts are a great way to add layers to a cute outfit. They can be easily paired with leggings or slips underneath. Princess Polly offers a handful of maxi skirts that are great for the occasion. The “Oh Plisse Maxi Skirt Cream” is a great choice for a block party. It goes well with almost any color long-sleeve shirt, T-shirt or tank top, creating endless layering possibilities.
A gingham maxi skirt, such as the “Daisy Street frill seam maxi skirt” from ASOS, is a stylish choice. The playful pattern doesn’t require much styling. It pairs excellently with a simple black or white top, and is available at various clothing stores in the buyer’s preferred style.
Maxi skirts are not the only choice for bottoms. Linen pants are an excellent choice for comfort while standing and jumping at artist sets all day. They provide warmth for colder temperatures while being lightweight enough for warmer weather.
PacSun, home to the John Galt clothing brand, has the perfect pair of blue pinstripe linen pants. The bottoms are low-rise with an adjustable drawstring waistband. These bottoms pair perfectly with a baby tee, whether plain or graphic, and can be complemented with a jacket if the temperature drops.
No outfit is complete without a fashionable pair of shoes.
Boots are a classic choice for music festivals, and they come in a variety of styles. The cowgirl style is timeless and enhances any outfit, especially in colors like red or white. A charcoal moto boot is another option that adds a fun touch to an ensemble.
However, comfort is key. A cute pair of tennis shoes elevates an outfit and keeps attendees at ease. The Adidas Gazelles have been around long enough to say they are more than a trend. Available in a wide variety of colors, such as pink, navy, green and white, there are options to match the rest of the outfit.
Finally, an outfit must have accessories.
Hair scarves can take any outfit from 1-100. Urban Outfitters has many options, ranging in style and color. The “Valerie Checkered Crochet Triangle Headscarf” is bright and colorful, making any outfit exciting. The “Out From Under Lace Headscarf” is simple, making it easy to match with various outfits.
Other hair accessories range from hairclips to hair rings.
Hair is not the only focus when accessorizing an outfit. Whether simple or bold, jewelry adds a great touch to any look. Necklaces, earrings and rings complete an outfit and can be found in nearly any clothing store.
Kilby Block Party is nearing, and outfit prep is in full swing. There is no required dress code, so attendees should wear whatever they feel comfortable in while enjoying themselves.
