The Fall Festival, and the celebration this city stopped holding

In October. The city posts the exact date on its own events calendar each fall, so check there rather than trusting a date you find somewhere else. In 2025 it ran on Tuesday, October 21, from 5:30 to 8 in the evening at Harrisville Main Park, 1350 North Highway 89. The city calls it the Annual Fall Festival and describes food, activities and fireworks, with a trunk-or-treat that vendors arrange through the City Treasurer.

No. There is no event by that name, and Harrisville has held no summer celebration since 2020. The city's own celebration was called Heritage Days, and the city council cut it from the budget in June 2020. Nothing has replaced it in the years since, and the city's old Heritage Days web page no longer exists.

Because it belongs to a different Harrisville. There is a Harrisville in New Hampshire that runs Old Home Days, one in Michigan, and a Harrisville Borough in Pennsylvania, and each posts its own events on its own site. The Utah city's Heritage Days page is gone. If a Heritage Days listing looks current, check which state's Harrisville it belongs to before you plan a trip around it.

Nine, by name, on its Community Events page: America 250, a Senior 55+ Luncheon, an Easter Egg Hunt, Spring Clean Up Days, Movie in the Park, the Fall Festival, Shop with a Hero, Santa at the Cabin, and the Harrisville Giving Tree. Only two carry a set date, and the city lists no admission charge for any of them. In practice the year runs on a monthly lunch, a spring and a fall cleanup, summer movies, and one October evening.

Noon on the second Tuesday of every month, at the Martin Henderson Harris Bicentennial Cabin. The city prints two different addresses for that building, 725 West Harrisville Road on its parks and events pages and 363 West Independence Boulevard, which is City Hall, on one calendar entry. Both are city buildings. If it is your first time, call the city at 801-782-4100 before you set out.

Twice a year, at the city's public works yard at 708 West 1750 North. The city calls it Spring Clean Up Days and then holds it once in the spring and once in the fall. In 2026 the spring session ran Wednesday, April 22 through Saturday, April 25. For a household clearing out after a move, a free city drop-off window twice a year is worth putting on the calendar, and the city lists no charge for it.

Yes. Harrisville City Recreation runs youth baseball, softball and t-ball from kindergarten through ninth grade, with signups through the month of March. The city posts no fee or field on its recreation page, so the March window is the thing to mark and the rest is a phone call to the recreation coordinator at 385-561-5232 or the city at 801-782-4100.

Partly. Harrisville lists Movie in the Park among its own events and says the locations vary. They vary because it is a program shared across more than one city, with Harrisville Park as one of the venues. A neighboring city runs the same series on summer evenings and calls it Movies in the Park, plural. Both are city listings, so no single city owns it alone.

Nothing the city has posted says so. Harrisville held an America 250 day on August 1, 2026, with a morning service project and an evening of food, music and fireworks at the main park. It was a national commemoration held in the year it fell, not a new yearly fixture, and the city has posted nothing about repeating it. It was simply the one day in 2026 the city did what a summer celebration does.
