In Salt Lake, festivities are refereed to as the Days of '47.

The event kicks off at 9 a.m. July 24, with the processional starting at South Temple and State Street and ending at Liberty Park."
ABC 4 also lists festivities: "The Days of '47 Rodeo is going on at the E Center in West Valley. The yearly event is consistently voted as one of the top rodeos in the country.
