Panguitch Offers Historic Quilt Walk Festival, Balloon Festival

The community of Panguitch, located in southern Utah near Bryce Canyon, will host some fun events during the next few weeks. Visitors are always invited to join the activities, which are outlined below.

June 11-14 – Annual Quilt Walk Festival

Facing starvation, early settlers in the Panguitch area sent men over the mountain to Parowan to obtain flour. Deep snow made the trek all but impossible. They were about to give up when they discovered blankets spread over the snow helped support their weight and made progress possible. Spreading quilts before them, the men completed the journey and saved their families. See the video below.

June 13-14 – 14th Annual Red Rock Rendezvous

Day rides to Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, and Grand Canyon National Parks, plus Grand Staircase-Escalante and Cedar Breaks National Monuments... Activities include guided GS ride (all abilities), poker run, bike-n-hike, tech sessions and door prizes. Registration includes 3 nights camping, dinner on Saturday night, coffee each morning, plus the activities listed above.

June 28-29 – The Sky’s The Limit Bike Rally

What do bikes and balloons have in common? Both represent freedom; freedom of the road and freedom of the air. Every June, Panguitch, Utah, has a double event, the Panguitch Valley Balloon Rally and The Sky’s the Limit Rally for bikes and cars

June 27-29 – Pangutich Valley Balloon Rally
