Fiesta Days Rodeo expands to five nights with new events in Utah

The Spanish Fork City Council meeting on July 1, 2025, highlighted the excitement surrounding the upcoming Fiesta Days Rodeo, which is recognized as the largest rodeo in Utah. Fairgrounds Director Nick Hanks presented details about this year’s event, emphasizing significant changes that aim to enhance the experience for attendees.

One of the most notable updates is the expansion of the rodeo to five nights, a shift from the previous four-night format that included only one night dedicated to bull riding. Hanks noted that community feedback indicated a strong desire for a full range of rodeo events, prompting this change. “We want to come when they do everything,” he quoted residents, reflecting the community's enthusiasm for a more comprehensive rodeo experience.

In addition to the extended schedule, Hanks mentioned the return of popular motorcycle back flips, which have consistently drawn crowds. The rodeo is expected to sell out quickly, drawing comparisons to the popularity of major concerts, underscoring its significance in the local culture.

The council's discussions also touched on the broader impact of the rodeo on the community, as it not only provides entertainment but also supports local businesses and fosters community spirit. As preparations continue, residents can look forward to an exciting event that promises to bring together families and friends for a celebration of rodeo traditions.

In conclusion, the Fiesta Days Rodeo is set to be a highlight of the summer, with changes aimed at enhancing the community's experience and engagement. The council's support for this beloved event reflects its commitment to fostering local culture and community pride.
