Lindon Days, and the week the town runs on one clock.

The first full week of August. In 2026 it ran from Saturday 1 August to Saturday 8 August under the theme Stars, Stripes and Small Town Nights, with events spread across all eight days rather than concentrated into one. The theme and the fixtures repeat year to year but the individual days and times are set annually and published by Lindon City, so confirm the schedule on the city's own Lindon Days page rather than relying on an event aggregator.

Seven fixtures come back every year in four different places. A junior rodeo runs at the city horse arena off Main Street. A fishing session at Fryer Park hands nets and buckets to children. There is a car show and a parade on the Main Street footprint, a five kilometre run on a street course, a free swim afternoon at the Aquatics Center at 60 West 60 North, and fireworks on the closing night. Most of it is free; the run carries an entry and some activities are ticketed.

Most of it is. The parade, the car show, the fireworks and the swim afternoon at the city pools all cost nothing at the gate, and the junior rodeo is a community event rather than a ticketed sports fixture. The five kilometre run carries an entry paid in advance, and individual activities within the week can carry their own small charges. The city publishes what is ticketed alongside the schedule each year, which is another reason to read the official page rather than a listing.

At the city horse arena off Main Street, which is a large fenced public arena with lights and roping chutes maintained by Lindon City. In 2026 the junior rodeo was scheduled for Thursday 6 August. Parking is on the west side of the arena and in an upper lot to the south off Main Street, and during the celebration week that parking behaves nothing like it does in any other week of the year, so arriving early is the whole strategy.

Yes, and it is the busiest session the Aquatics Center runs in its entire season. The centre normally charges six dollars for an adult aged 18 to 54, five with a Lindon identity card, and five for a youth aged 4 to 17 as published for 2026, so a free afternoon draws a crowd. Everything else about the site, the five pools, the standing wave, the lazy river and the two seasonal timetables, is on the Aquatics Center page.

From Lindon City directly. The city publishes the running order each year in its own Lindon Days magazine and on its Lindon Days page at lindon.gov. Event aggregators copy that schedule imperfectly and frequently carry the previous year's times, which is the single most common source of wasted journeys during the week. If you are travelling for the rodeo, the run or the parade specifically, confirm the day and the hour on the city's page and confirm again during the week itself.

It is the only week in the year when Lindon's separate pieces run the same programme at once. The pools, the horse arena, Fryer Park and Main Street are on one schedule for eight days, where for the other fifty one weeks they are four unrelated facilities that happen to share a city. If you want to understand what a small Utah Valley town still does for itself, this is the week to see it. If you want the city's permanent assets, the trail and the harbour are there all year.

It depends on the fixture, and it is a genuinely different problem from ordinary parking here. The arena has parking on its west side and an upper lot to the south off Main Street. Fryer Park at 600 North Main Street has its own car park. The Aquatics Center parks on its civic block at 60 West 60 North. All of them fill during the week. The Lindon Heritage Trail runs east to west across the city on paved surface and is a better way across town on a busy evening than a car is.

It changes annually. The 2026 theme was Stars, Stripes and Small Town Nights, and the theme governs the decoration, some of the entertainment and the parade rather than the fixtures themselves, which repeat regardless. If you are looking at material from a previous year, the theme is the quickest way to tell how old it is, and a listing carrying an out of date theme is almost certainly carrying out of date times as well.
