Pioneer Day (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)
July 24
Pioneer Day commemorates the arrival of the first group of Latter-day Saint pioneers to the Salt Lake Valley, on July 24, 1847. In Utah it is an official state holiday, and the associated celebration, including a parade, is referred to as Days of ’47. It is a time for recognizing all people who have contributed to building the state, regardless of religion or background.
