Spirit of '47 Pioneer Jubilee!

On Friday, July 24, celebrate Pioneer Day the pioneer way at our authentic pioneer festival!

FREE TO THE PUBLIC (donations accepted for some activities)

This family-friendly festival will feature historically accurate activities in which pioneers would have engaged between 1848 and 1870. We're also throwing in a few heritage-based events as well. Even since 1848, the pioneers of Utah celebrated their arival here. Sure, we all know that pioneers worked hard, but they also knew how to PLAY hard!
