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. This day marks the arrival of Brigham Young and fellow Mormon pioneers to the area after being exiled from Nauvoo, Illinois. The first parade and festival was held in 1849. 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.

The theatrical cache of these seasoned performers coupled with their stellar musical abilities work together to convey an unforgettable electricity that ignites the tradition of the opera. The Utah Opera produces several performances each season, and every one of these works underscores the many talents of these gifted singers, actors and musicians. So instead of settling for the usual entertainment, revisit the tradition of the opera.
