In addition to death-defying performances, the Opening Ceremonies will also feature the traditional parade of athletes, cauldron lighting, concert and fireworks that, alone, make for a night unlike any other in Southern Utah.
This year’s ceremony also marks the first and only time horses—English Shires, no less—will be permitted in stadium, with a full wagon routine and stampede.
The Utah Summer Games is a longstanding seasonal tradition in Southern Utah and across the state, bringing athletes of all ages and skill levels to Cedar City for Olympic-style competition in nearly 50 different sports. The Opening Ceremonies have long been a seasonal highlight to near sellout crowds year after year. This year will be no exception.
