The Days of '47 Parade is one of the largest parades in the country. It is held every July 24th, the same day as Pioneer Day which is a state holiday for Utah.

The Church of Latter Day Saints as well as various businesses and community groups have floats in this spectacular display of community involvement that also acknowledges Utah's rich history.

Founded in 1847 when the Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir has a rich history of performance and tradition among their spectacular voices.
