Fort Herriman Towne Days Parade

At 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 27, 2026, the Fort Herriman Towne Days Parade set off over Mirabella Drive, Emmeline Drive, and Butterfield Park Way and ended at W & M Butterfield Park, 6212 Butterfield Park Way. The entries had lined up from 7:30 that morning on 13400 South, between 6400 West and Freeman Lane, and the route itself closed to cars from 9:30 until noon. Households in the neighborhood directly south of Butterfield Park Way drove out westbound by Fort Pierce Way. The city’s schedule allowed until 12:30 p.m. for the last entry to pass. Parking at the park was free.

The parade is a procession of floats and performers, and the city published a printed program for it. Beside the program on the city’s parade page is a link for spectators to vote online for their favorite float. Herriman City puts on the parade. The city is home to more than 60,000 people in the southwest corner of the Salt Lake Valley, and its events office is run by Lorren Mitchell, events manager, and Anthony Teuscher, deputy director of parks and events.

The parade fell on the last day of a Towne Days program that began eight days earlier. On Friday, June 19, there was a 70s-themed roller-skating night at J. Lynn Crane Park. The Herriman Yeti Run started at 7:30 the next morning. On Tuesday, June 23, Friends of Herriman – Parks and the Herriman Historical Society held a lunch at Mountain Ridge Park with stories about Herriman’s history. A car show and a speed-puzzling tournament filled Wednesday. Thursday brought a police K9 demonstration and a live talent show. On Friday the Fox Brothers Band played, a Toby Keith tribute band headlined, and a drone show marked America’s 250th anniversary.

After the parade on Saturday, the carnival at Butterfield Park opened at 11 a.m. and ran until 11 at night. Food trucks arrived at 2 p.m., and a wiffle ball tournament was played on the upper baseball field. Under the pavilion, people painted the red, white, and blue flag. The Trevor Ram Band and The FUNdeMENTALs played the large stage in the afternoon, followed by music bingo and a set by Kaleb Austin. DJ Freshness kept the dancing going on either side of the 10 p.m. fireworks, which the city billed as set to “music across the decades.”
