Enjoy Fourth Of July Events Around Utah
Communities throughout Utah will hold
many activities on Wednesday in celebration of Independence
Day. There will be pancake breakfasts, parades, rodeos, concerts and
fireworks.
Travelers are always welcome to join in
the festivities. Our website
events section has details about celebrations in many areas.
Check locally to learn details.
Many communities are carefully
controlling fireworks in an effort to minimize fire danger. Grass and
brush in foothill areas are dry and pose extreme fire danger.
People are encouraged to exercise caution to help prevent fires.
Most communities will stage
professional firework shows, although a few have totally eliminated
fireworks. Check locally to find out if there will be a show where
you are.
There are severe restrictions on
private fireworks. In general, fireworks are not allowed anywhere on
public lands. That includes National Parks, National Forests, State
Parks and BLM land. A few communities have totally outlawed
fireworks. Others allow fireworks in some areas but have
prohibited them in others.
Campfires are prohibited in all areas
outside of approved fire pits in developed campgrounds.
This
Deseret News article has extensive details about fireworks
restrictions in various communities.
Again, we invite you to participate in community celebrations wherever you will be
staying. And check to find out about any restrictions.
Have a great and safe Fourth of July.
