About Provo River Days
Provo River Days is a new, multi-site, community-driven festival celebrating and protecting the Provo River watershed. Through hands-on activities, education, and community partnerships, the festival connects people to the river from its headwaters in the Uintas to the communities that depend on it to live and thrive.
On September 12, families, students, outdoor enthusiasts, and lifelong locals can explore the river at four unique sites, each offering its own hands-on activities and lessons about the watershed we all share.
All ages. All along the river. One shared goal: protecting the Provo River for generations to come.
