The Days of ’47 Rodeo is one of Utah’s longest-standing traditions – celebrating Utah’s heritage since 1857.
The rodeo, and other Days of ’47 events, commemorate the day – July 24, 1847 – when pioneers first arrived in the Salt Lake Valley.

In addition to the rodeo, there's also a Frontier Fun Zone open from 4 to 11pm every night, an air conditioned exhibitor space, Young guns junior rodeo, music, food and carnival rides, a longhorn display, Native American encampment and a Mountain Man Camp.
