(Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune) Lorin Hansen performs with Samba Fogo, at the Last Hurrah New Years Eve party at the Gateway, Sunday, December 31, 2017.
Salt Lake City toasted the end of 2017 at a not-so-secret speakeasy and planned to usher in 2018 with fireworks Sunday.
A couple swayed and sang along to a group playing Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” (sans piano) on a “Rock Band” video game. Kids — and playful adults — entertained themselves with giant checkers, giant Lite Bright, a photo booth and other indoor games at The Gateway’s Last Hurrah celebration. Outside, people chatted with friends, danced to the live music and ate food-truck fare.
Here are photos of the celebration.
