What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Eagle Mountain sits directly on the original 1860s Pony Express route, and the festival uses that history as its organizing theme, distinguishing it from generic city celebrations elsewhere in Utah

02

The mystery stays covered

Historical displays, wagon or horse demonstrations, and references to the mail riders who once crossed Cedar Valley give the event a frontier identity even as the city around it has become one of Utah's fastest-growing suburban communities, filled largely with young families who moved in well after the historic trail fell out of use
