A Yearly Tradition

It’s almost Independence Day! And here in Torrey, Utah there is an annual event called “Apple Days” that marks the occasion. It’s a classic, small-town America celebration, complete with games, food, competitions, patriotic programs, and, of course, a parade. So if you’re planning on visiting Capitol Reef on the July 4th weekend, maybe stop by, hang out and celebrate with us.

When And Where?

This year things get started in the afternoon. The parade starts at 3pm at the Torrey Town Hall. You can find the Town Hall here on Google Maps. The theme of the parade this year is “Christmas in July,” so we’re excited to see what that looks like. The majority of the other activities will take place at the Torrey Park. Located here.
