A Historic Announcement on Pioneer Day 

July 24th is always an exciting day in Salt Lake City as we celebrate Pioneer Day, but this year was especially historic. The Celebrate 2034 event in Washington Square was an exuberant occasion with live broadcasts, a lighting of the 2002 torch, and ongoing festivities throughout the day at the Utah Olympic Park and Peaks Ice Arena. These activities showcased our city's readiness and enthusiasm for the upcoming games.
