this year's event will celebrate the unique stories of Utah pioneers, including the early Polynesian settlers who established the historic town of Iosepa.
Come watch these talented artists and Polynesian performance groups as they bring their stories to life on stage.
On July 22, 2022, a monument was erected at This Is The Place Heritage Park honoring African American pioneers who were part of the vanguard pioneer company that first entered the Salt Lake Valley. At this concert, we honor these individuals by telling their stories and letting their legacy remind us to expand our definition of what a pioneer is.
