Wikipedia:Meetup/Utah/Wikipedia Day 2024

Utah Wikimedians, film enthusiasts and friends are invited to celebrate Wikipedia's 23rd birthday in Park City as part of the Wikipedia Day celebrations being held around the world. We'll meet on Saturday, January 27, 2024 during the busy 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
