7 Can’t-Miss Highlights of Kamas Fiesta Days 2025

While the full schedule offers dozens of activities, seven events stand out as the traditional and most-anticipated attractions of the Kamas Valley Fiesta Days. These are the events that truly capture the small-town vibe and western heritage of Summit County.

1. The High-Impact Demolition Derby and Lawnmower Racing

The Demolition Derby is arguably the most popular event of the entire week, and it is officially confirmed for the 2025 schedule. This is where old cars meet their fate in a chaotic, smash-mouth battle for last-car-running glory. The Kamas City Park arena will be roaring with engines and cheering fans for this high-octane spectacle.

For 2025, a fresh, new attraction is being added to the lineup: Lawnmower Racing! This quirky, fun event will debut during the demolition derby halftime, featuring an oval loop race that adds a unique, grassroots flavor to the already thrilling evening. Be sure to check the official "2025 Demolition Derby Order Form" from the city to see if you can get in on the action.

2. The Kamas Valley Fiesta Days Rodeo

A celebration in the Kamas Valley would not be complete without its signature rodeo. As a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) sanctioned event in past years, the Kamas Rodeo draws top competitors and features classic events like bull riding, bronc riding, barrel racing, and team roping.

The action kicks off with the Rodeo Queen Contest in late May, but the main rodeo performances are the heart of the final weekend. Expect multiple nights of intense competition at the Kamas Rodeo Ground, providing a genuine taste of Utah’s cowboy culture.

3. The Steel Horse Motorcycle Poker Ride

For the motorcycle enthusiasts and adventure seekers, the Steel Horse Motorcycle Poker Ride is a fantastic way to kick off the main week of events. This ride is scheduled for the opening Saturday, July 19. Participants typically ride a scenic route, stopping at designated checkpoints to draw a playing card. The goal is to finish the ride with the best five-card poker hand to win a prize. It's a fun, social event that starts and ends at the Kamas Event Center, making it a perfect blend of scenic touring and friendly competition.

4. The Annual Kamas City Park Car Show

Also happening on the opening Saturday, July 19, the Car Show transforms Kamas City Park into a showcase of classic, custom, and unique vehicles. Running from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, this event is a must-see for gearheads and families alike. The Car Show often features a wide range of categories, from muscle cars to hot rods, all competing for top honors.

In conjunction with the Car Show, the Memories Auction will take place at the City Park, featuring both silent (9-11 AM) and live (11 AM-12 PM) bidding. This is a great opportunity to support the community while finding a unique souvenir.

5. The Grand Parade and Pioneer Day Celebrations

The parade is the traditional centerpiece of the final weekend, typically held on the Saturday morning of Pioneer Day weekend. The route runs through the center of town, featuring elaborate floats, local businesses, the Fiesta Days Royalty, and horse-mounted groups. The parade is a vibrant display of community pride and a perfect photo opportunity. Following the parade, the community often gathers for a traditional breakfast and other family activities like fun runs and chalk art.

6. Bull Wars and Kids Night

Fiesta Days is known for its "Bull Wars," a specific event that focuses entirely on the intense challenge of bull riding. This event often takes place on a separate night from the main rodeo performances, giving bull riding fans a dedicated night of thrills. Additionally, a dedicated "Kids Night" ensures the younger crowd has events tailored just for them, often featuring mutton bustin’, stick horse races, and other child-friendly activities.

7. The Grand Finale Fireworks Display

No major celebration is complete without a spectacular fireworks show, and Kamas Fiesta Days delivers. The week culminates with a massive fireworks display, typically held on the final Saturday night, July 26, following the last rodeo performance or Demolition Derby. This dazzling show lights up the Kamas Valley sky, providing a memorable end to the annual celebration and a perfect way to celebrate Pioneer Day weekend.

Planning Your Visit to Kamas Valley Fiesta Days

As the event runs for a full week, planning ahead is essential to catch all the action. Kamas, Utah, a charming small town in Summit County, is located near the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, making it a great base for outdoor adventure as well.

Ticketing and Vendor Information

Tickets for the major events, such as the Demolition Derby and the Rodeo, should be purchased early as they often sell out. Keep an eye on the official Kamas City website, which has already posted the "2025 Fiesta Days Schedule" and a "2025 Vendor Application" for those interested in setting up a booth.

Accommodation and Logistics

Accommodation in the Kamas Valley area, especially during the peak Pioneer Day weekend, books up quickly. Consider booking hotels or campgrounds well in advance. Kamas City Park serves as the central hub for many of the daytime activities, including the Car Show and various community gatherings. The Kamas Rodeo Ground is the primary location for the evening rodeo and derby events.

Kamas Fiesta Days 2025 promises to be a vibrant, unforgettable experience. Mark your calendars for July 19-26 and prepare to immerse yourself in the rich traditions of this historic Utah celebration.
