Swiss Days in Midway: An ode to the Swiss settlers who once founded Midway, Swiss Days is a vibrant festival that celebrates the rich heritage and traditions of this European country. With bustling market stalls, traditional Swiss music, and the tantalizing aroma of Raclette cheese in the air, it’s a cultural immersion like no other. Take advantage of the lively parade and the numerous craft booths that line the streets.
Oktoberfest at Snowbird: While it might sound a bit early for Oktoberfest, Snowbird
jumps ahead and starts the celebrations in high spirits. Picture this: you’re sipping on an authentic Bavarian brew, enjoying folk dances, and listening to yodelers while surrounded by Utah’s magnificent mountains. The alpine setting provides the perfect backdrop for this German tradition.
Boating and Water Sports: With Utah’s numerous lakes and reservoirs, Labor Day is ideal for indulging in some last days of summer aquatic fun. Head to Bear Lake or Pineview Reservoir for jet skiing, paddle boarding, or simply lounging on the boat, soaking in the sun.

Biking: From the slickrock trails of Moab to the serene paths of Provo Canyon, Utah’s biking trails cater to thrill-seekers and those searching for a peaceful ride. For families, consider a gentle cycle around Jordan River Parkway, where the trails are flat and the scenery is lovely.
Hiking: Every corner of Utah offers a trail that promises awe and wonder. The cooler Labor Day temperatures make it perfect for a hike in Zion National Park or Bryce Canyon. For a lesser-known gem, consider Nebo Loop; its vistas and fall foliage will leave you spellbound.
