Have you been to Ogden's downtown amphitheater? If not, try to attend one of the many awesome events going on there this summer. The amphitheater is located at the Municipal Gardens on 25th and Washington Blvd. It's right next to the Municipal Building, which I listed as one of Ogden's Top Ten Landmarks, and is a perfect place to spend a summer afternoon. There is a nice park area, the gardens, statues, tacos stands and yummy treats at Trudy's Poppin' Johnny's Ice Cream.
Last night, I went to this summer's first Monday Night at the Movies and watch Shrek Forever After. It was better than the drive-in! The screen wasn't as big, but the sound was much better and it was free. We brought our own snacks and our daughter met some friends to play with.
Here is a list of events at Ogden Amphitheater:
Mondays
As I said earlier, Monday is movie night. Every week they will show a different family movie. The event starts at 7pm with live music and the movie starts at dusk.
June 20- How to Train Your Dragon
June 27- Despicable Me
July 11- True Grit (1969)
July 18- Megamind
July 25- Invictus
August 1- Home Alone, Christmas Village 50th Anniversary party
August 8- Furry Vengeance
August 15- Tangled
Wednesdays
Wednesday is all about music. Tomorrow kicks off both Tunes at Noon and Talent in the Park. Tunes at Noon will be a great event to bring a picnic and enjoy the sunshine with live music from a different artist each week.

Date Night!
Date Night! It is becoming quite the buzz word as parents worldwide finally start to realize...WE NEED A BREAK! It's kind of an odd transition going from spouses to parents. Before kids, the world just seems to revolve around your relationship and every night is date night. Then a kid comes along and two years later, you start to wonder why your husband calls you mom. It's a sign, you need some time together away from the kids.
I know that my husband and I are in dire need of a date, but as I search for a job post-graduation, funds are pretty low. But, date night really can't wait. So, I realized I needed to start looking for creative and inexpensive ways to spend time together. As I started shifting through my options (yep, you guessed it), Ogden is the place to be. With a little advanced planning, there are a lot of fun events going on that are totally FREE or pretty cheap (yep, I'm a cheap date). Lucky for you, I have done all the advanced planning, so you can have a worry-free night on the town with your honey.
June 3-For the Artsy
There is such a great vibe downtown during the First Friday Night Art Stroll. Art and culture are just flowing through the street. There's live music, art galleries and shopping all in one great, big package. The festivities are free and last from 6pm-9pm. It's a great way to stroll the town and enjoy the night with your date.
June 10-Movie Buffs and Foodies
Generally, dinner/movie dates are pretty dull and can end up being pretty pricey. What with the cost of theater popcorn these days! But Ogden has gone ahead and turned this dull night into something way better. The Taste of Downtown event is the perfect night out.
As part of the Ogden Arts Festival kickoff, Taste Downtown will feature the culinary creations from restaurants on Historic 25th Street. Sample City Club's spicy sweet wings, Roosters chicken salad canape's, Tona's sushi, Crowley Cafe's caesar salad, Brewski's mini meatball sub's, and Union Grill's mini caramel bread pudding. All for only $8 per person. Preview the High School Art exhibit before you "Taste" then finish the evening with a film brought to you by Foursite Film Institute, "One Revolution", $5 at the door. Food will be served from 6:30pm-8:30pm. Movie starts at 8pm. Event info provided by Ogden City.
So, pretty much you've got dinner from 6 different restaurants, an art exhibit and a movie at historic Union Station all for just $13/person. Love it!
June 15-Summer Lovin'
Not all dates have to be on weekend nights. Check out this summer's first Tunes at Noon at the Ogden Amphitheater. Dan Weldon will be performing live music from noon-1pm. Bring a picnic or grab a bite from a taco stand and enjoy the sunshine!
June 23-For the Philanthropists
Why not spend your night out supporting a good cause? SLam Jam is open mic night at Mojo's from 8pm-7pm. This night's open mic will support the Nurture the Creative Mind Foundation.
ALL musicians, poets, singers, MCs, etc. are welcomed and wanted. There will be no featured artist this month, instead we are just having a completely OPEN mic. FREE FREE FREE. Info for this event provided by indie.ogden.
Well, there it is: A whole month worth of date nights. I hope everyone gets the chance to attend at least one of these events. Let me know what you think, cause I'd love to do this every month if there is positive response.
Enjoy your Memorial weekend and I'll be back on Monday!
