Spring & Summer 2026
The Wasatch Front comes alive from March through August with an extraordinary run of events — flower festivals and indie music marathons, rodeos and county fairs, bluegrass in the mountains and open-air concerts under canyon sunsets. Here is your season-by-season guide to everything worth circling on the calendar.
Festival of Colors
In Spanish Fork, Ogden and Salt Lake
