Swiss Days in Santa Clara Utah – 2015

The annual event of Swiss Days in Santa Clara is later this month and you don’t want to miss it if you’re in town! Santa Clara is a quiet little bedroom community located just west of St George Utah. In fact, unless you notice the sign, you won’t know when you’ve left St George and entered Santa Clara!

Swiss Days begins on Thursday September 24, 2015 and runs until Saturday September 26, 2015!  The theme this year is “Spreading Our Branches from Strong Roots”.  Saturday’s hours begin at 6:30 am with the 5K run and end at 4:00 pm. Admission is free. This is one hometown event that you won’t forget. It’s full of history, fun and activities for the whole family.
