July 24th 1847 is the day Brigham Young entered the valley with a group of pioneers after declaring it “the right place”.
Every year, Utah celebrates with pioneer games, festivals, and other fun activities. Below are some that we have found. Check back often, as we will be adding more and more events as we hear about them.
