Handcart Days Parade: A Grand Celebration of Community Spirit and Tradition!

BOUNTIFUL — From its humble beginnings in 1950 to becoming one of the largest parades in the state, Handcart Days has blossomed into a beloved tradition for Bountiful and its neighboring cities. What started with less than 2,500 spectators has grown to attract tens of thousands, all eager to see the spectacular floats, majestic horses, antique cars, and more.

Mark your calendars for this year’s parade, kicking off at 9 a.m. on July 20, with the inspiring theme “Onward and Upward.” The route begins at 1500 South, stretches to 400 North, and concludes at 100 West.

Jill Frasier, our dedicated parade chair, shared the incredible scale of this event. “There are 13 LDS stakes involved and more than 200 volunteers,” she said. “We have the Jeep Posse and 65 ham radio operators working with us. The radio operators ensure smooth communication throughout the parade, helping us adjust the pace as needed.”

Jill emphasized the deep-rooted tradition of the event. “People call us as early as January to plan their family vacations around Handcart Days. It’s a community event that truly brings people together.”

Handcart Days commemorates the arduous journey and resilience of the handcart pioneers who trekked to Utah. Though it started in Bountiful, it now embraces the entire South Davis community.

“We want everyone in the community to feel included,” Jill added. “The parade lasts about an hour and a half, and we have over 90 entries lined up.”

This year’s Grand Marshal is Sandy Inman, a key figure behind the Bountiful History Museum. “She has greatly contributed to our community,” Jill noted.

The parade promises delightful surprises, with over 50 horse entries and six bands, including the crowd-favorite Wasatch District Pipe Band. Jill excitedly mentioned, “Hardware Ranch is bringing their Clydesdales, and the Utah National Guard will be there. The parade will end with the Major Brent Taylor Foundation’s big flag, proudly carried by youth councils from Woods Cross, West Bountiful, and Bountiful.”

Expect to see grand floats from KSL, Chick-Fil-A, and Young Automotive. Jill explained a new rule this year: “Unless they’re a sponsor, they can’t have a banner. We want to raise the quality of the parade and avoid it feeling like an advertisement. The floats should show some effort.”

Jill also shared, “We’ve provided funds to the Val Verda stake and Kings Cross Church in Farmington to build floats. We aim to include the whole community.”

An exciting addition this year is a special section showcasing classic, muscle, and super cars, adding more excitement for car enthusiasts.

The parade entries are thoughtfully staged along the route for variety and enjoyment. “We want to be accommodating. For example, if someone is blowing bubbles, we ensure they’re not in the mayor’s face,” Jill laughed. “Cross E is bringing goats and other animals, so we carefully plan their placement too.”

Our wonderful volunteers will ensure everything runs smoothly, even following the horses to clean up. “Forty-eight families are assigned different sections to pick up garbage,” Jill shared.

Spectators, please remember, you can set up your chairs starting at 9 p.m. Friday night. Any early setups will be collected by the police and can be retrieved at the station.

The police and city departments provide incredible support, from setting up barricades to using drones for safety checks, and assisting with street cleanup.

There won’t be an announcer this year, Jill mentioned. “After COVID, we found it costly and time-consuming.

For those eager to see the lineup, you can view the entry list online now at this link.

In addition to the parade, enjoy fun events at Bountiful City Park on Friday night and after the parade on Saturday. Friday’s activities run from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., featuring a Peter Breinholt concert from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday’s festivities start at 10 a.m. and continue until 3 p.m., with a fireworks show at 10 p.m. at Mueller Park Junior High.

Thank you Jill and the Handcart Days Parade Committee for your devoted countless hours to organizing this event. It’s going to be an unforgettable event filled with community spirit and joy!

New Rules Could See Park Strip Trees Banned in Centerville

Centerville may ban trees in park strips due to safety and infrastructure concerns, requiring residents to follow strict guidelines or face the removal of non-compliant trees. Public discussions are ongoing.

The city encourages residents to stay informed about these potential changes and participate in public discussions to voice their opinions.
