Parades, campfires, root beer floats, and fireworks — welcome to Utah’s most spirited month!

July in Utah is all about honoring our roots, gathering with loved ones, and embracing the great outdoors. From small-town parades to mountain escapes and big-city celebrations, this month reminds us just how special it is to call Utah home.
Let Everything Utah be your go-to for celebrating local tradition, refreshing treats, and festive flair — from Pioneer Day to every backyard barbecue. Don’t Forget to Bring your Utah Huckleberry Barbecue Sauce and Huckleberry Chipotle Hot Sauce.
