Salt Lake City, July 15 – Craft Lake City is pleased to announce its partnership with Harmons for a luxury VIP experience at the 13th Annual Craft Lake City® DIY Festival® Presented by Harmons. The Festival offers an elevated experience for Harmons VIP Lounge attendees on its opening night, Friday August 13.
The Harmons VIP Lounge provides a shaded and comfortable area to enjoy live music and performances on the SLUG Mag Stage, and attendees for this year’s Craft Lake City VIP Lounge will enjoy a musical set by festival headliner Ritt Momney. Tickets for the Harmons VIP Lounge include access to an autograph session with Jack Rutter of Ritt Momney, as well as priority view of the performance. Ritt Momney has been garnering popularity and acclaim on the heels of his successful cover of Corrine Bailey Rae’s “Put Your Records On.” The track has become a hit sound on the social media app Tik Tok, and has since accumulated over 300 million plays on Spotify. In the last year, Rutter has performed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, has been featured in Billboard magazine and has released a handful of successful original singles.
The Harmons VIP Lounge is a feast for the senses, especially when it comes to delicious food. Handcrafted bites and specialty cocktails are a highlight of the VIP experience. This year, Harmons and Craft Lake City have curated a selection of craft food bites from 10 different local craft food purveyors. VIP patrons will enjoy sweet dessert delicacies of Julie Ann Caramels and Normal Ice Cream, artfully-roasted coffee from Caffe Ibis, and artisanal cheeses from Beehive Cheese, among many other locally-made culinary delights. Each attendee in the Harmons VIP Lounge will receive two complimentary cocktail tickets to enjoy during the evening festivities.
