Weigh In On Sandy's Future

After a very successful Future Fest event, we're following up with two more opportunities for our community to weigh in on what the future of our town should look and feel like in the decades to come. Thanks for sharing your input!

Envision Sandy 2050

Sandy's comprehensive plan update project, Envision Sandy 2050, is off to a great start! Thanks to everyone who has engaged so far in the community visioning process - over the last six months we have had over 1,000 interactions with Sandy residents and business owners through community conversations, events, and online tools. The visioning process asked: "what do you love about Sandy today, and what do you want to preserve for the future?" The Envision Sandy 2050 Vision statement (a draft is in shown in the image to the right) synthesizes the key themes and ideas uncovered through this outreach. This vision statement will lay the foundation for new goals and policies in the City’s Comprehensive Plan. Please take a moment to review the draft Envision Sandy 2050 Vision Statement and take the survey to let us know if we're on the right track! Thank you for sharing your voice!

Reverse Parade!

Please join us in the festivities as we celebrate Sandy's 110th birthday. 

Here is the link to the registration form for our very first Reverse Parade. Everyone is welcome to participate.

The Reverse Parade registration is now open. The final day to register is August 7.  

What is a Reverse Parade?  In a typical parade, onlookers remain in one place as a column of people and floats pass by. In a REVERSE Parade, the floats and displays are stationary and the onlookers pass by them.

Who can participate?  Everyone!  Families, neighborhoods, organizations, businesses.

How will you decorate?  Be inspired by Birthdays, Mardi Gras, and 4th of July, for example. You could put up lights and be creative, decorate your yard, business, or front of your home highlighting the theme of SANDY PAST AND PRESENT.

The REVERSE PARADE will occur from August 14 through August 28, open-house style.

There will be a map listing the participating locations so people will be able to drive around Sandy and look at the decorations.

The GRAND PRIZE WINNER will receive a $110.00 gift card. Winners will be announced on August 28th at the Sandy Centennial Plaza. Winners do not need to be present.

Use hashtag  #110SandyBirthday  when posting on social media.

Registration ends on Saturday, August 7. You may keep your display up from August 14-28.

This is a celebration for everyone, highlighting the history and essence of the citizens of Sandy and showcasing the diversity of our community with a spirit of inclusiveness that positively contributes to the well-being of our city.

Holiday Tree Lighting 2020

Things may look different this year, but traditions are traditions!

We are planning a way to keep Sandy's Tree Lighting on the calendar. The ceremony will be a combination, live-streamed, and drive through.

Watch the tree lighting via Facebook and YouTube with a special season's greeting from City Council and the Mayor. Drive-by Sandy's Centennial Plaza to see the tree and pick up a craft, drop off a letter to Santa, donate toys, and have a cookie.

We are accepting donations to fill Kiwanis barrels for toys. We are especially in need of toys and gift cards for older kids and teens.

Take & Make Craft - Help us make handcrafted cards for our local Seniors. cards need to be turned into the library by December 20th.

Write a letter to Santa before the event and drop it off in the mailbox next to the trolley where Santa will be parked. Santa will be waving to passers-by.

Treats and warm cocoa for the kids, coffee for adults.

Friday, December 4th 
6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
