3. American Fork's Steel Days

The Buzz -- This family-friendly festival, held in mid- to late July, spans four days and features a variety of activities: parades, variety shows, craft shows, horseshoe and softball tournaments, a competitive Dutch oven cook-off, horse races, fireworks displays, and a 5K fun run. Most events are free; however, a few, like the Balloon Lift at American Fork High School, do charge nominal fees. Contact the event office for details.
