The full Utah Valley calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:

1. America’s Freedom Festival

Various times and locations throughout the weekend

This event is one of the highlights of the year in Utah Valley annually, but had added significance with the America 250 celebration. Activities will take place in Provo, Orem, Spanish Fork and other locations, capped by the Stadium of Fire at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on July 4. The official website says: “America’s Freedom Festival at Provo is one of America’s premier patriotic celebrations. Its roots trace back to the 1870s, more than two decades before Utah became a state.”

The event website says: “By The Dawn’s Early Light Flag Unfurling Ceremony celebrates the 12th year of the over-the-top American celebration. Witness in-person a sight that will put those bumps on your arms and warmth in your heart. Cannon fire, horses ride and a fly over accompanied by a choir will help remind you, that this is a sacred, God-given land that we must protect for future generations.”

3. Springville 2026 Summer Concert Series: Fleetwood Visions

Springville Arts Park, July 11, 8 p.m.-Midnight

If you are looking for something more relaxed than all the commotion that comes with the Fourth of July weekend, then Springville will be a good place to be on July 11. Let yourself enjoy the music of the legendary band Fleetwood Mac performed by the tribute band Fleetwood Visions. This will be the second-to-last summer concert, with the final concert taking place on August 8 with Good Vibrations celebrating the music of the Beach Boys.
