The origin of the Swiss Days events date back to the late 1940's as the harvest was being completed, local farmers and ranchers got together for a celebration of bountiful harvest.
"Harvest Days" became Swiss Days and presented the opportunity to dress in the traditional clothing unique to the canton or region of Switzerland where many of their ancestors were born.
Swiss Days is held every September / Labor Day weekend. It is a super fun, super popular festival in Midway, Utah. They have a parade in the morning and food and craft booths along with all day entertainment in the City Park. It's a fun way to spend a day not to mention a nice get-away to the mountains for some fresh air.
