Santa Clara Swiss Days
Every late September, the small town of Santa Clara — just west of St. George — celebrates its Swiss pioneer heritage with one of Southern Utah's most-loved community festivals. Held since 1990, Swiss Days honors the Swiss settlers who founded Santa Clara in 1861.
- When: late September (typically Thursday–Saturday)
- Where: Santa Clara Drive, Heritage Square, and Canyon View Park, Santa Clara
- Highlights: the Santa Clara Drive parade, a 5K run/walk, pancake breakfast, a free Friday-night concert, the Red Rock Car Show, pioneer activities, and food & craft vendors
It's a genuine small-town celebration with big crowds and lots of family fun. Check Santa Clara City for this year's dates and schedule.
