LIVE from Temple Square: What the Salt Lake Temple Renovation Looks Like Now (2026 Update)

Something historic is happening in Salt Lake City right now. The iconic Salt Lake Temple has been undergoing one of the most significant renovations in its 130-year history—and today we’re walking around Temple Square LIVE to see the progress for ourselves. Join me as we explore the construction surrounding this sacred landmark, talk about what has changed, what is coming next, and why this renovation matters so much to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world. The temple has stood as a symbol of faith since its dedication in 1893, and the current renovation is preparing it to serve future generations. As we walk Temple Square together, we’ll look at the new structural upgrades, the progress being made on the historic granite exterior, and what visitors can expect when the temple eventually reopens. Whether you’re a lifelong member, someone curious about Latter-day Saints, or simply interested in the history of one of Utah’s most famous landmarks, this live walk will give you a real-time look at the transformation happening right now. If you love seeing historic places come back to life, make sure to subscribe and join future livestreams as we continue exploring faith, history, and inspiring places across the country.
