Pioneer Day Activities 2012

July 24th 1847 is the day Brigham Young declared "This is the right place," and entered the valley with a group of pioneers.


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.
