No charge for parking. They had the fire department there, independent craft vendors, food trucks, mini stage w. live music, pioneer costume contest, and people demonstrating pioneer history. Much fun.

The BYU Museum of Art on campus was a really fantastic surprise and an easy highlight of my visit…read more I could not believe it was free given how spectacular many of the works on display were. The exhibitions were thoughtfully arranged, easy to follow, and paired with helpful descriptions that actually made me want to slow down and read them. There were plenty of students around to answer questions, and everyone I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. It ended up being a wonderful stop on my trip and one I would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area.

I didn't go to school at BYU, but I did, over the years, see quite a few performances. I was back just a few months ago, and although it wasn't an artsy performance (it was a lecture) each step down those wings was trip down memory lane. It's still in about the same condition--so I imagine it's been remodeled at least once or twice. It's not a massive space, but it's big enough that you feel like you're really going to see a show. And the big doors are well-marked so you'll be sure to find the right row and right seat. The arts lift you up. I leave De Jong and I want to sprint. To run with the energy I feel from almost holding hands with poetry, and meaning, and all the promise of a night at the theater!

The animations are pretty dated, but that's not very important. The pizza was very average and kind of small for four of us, so we decided to order mozzarella sticks, fries and chicken strips. But no! The fryer was broken, so the only option was another pizza, but luckily, Costa Vida was next door. The kids were disappointed, but we moved on to arcade games after we finished bowling. There are some fun arcade games, but several we wanted to play were out of order. Skee ball was fun, but the basketball game was also broken. Overall, everyone was helpful and service was great, plus the prices are reasonable. We would go back for bowling but would probably choose somewhere else for more food and arcade game options.

Plus, the cost of each game seemed pretty reasonable and you could get quite a few games for not too much expense. Definitely made for a great activity for the family on a hot summer day. It was also super refreshing to not feel like I was getting ripped off or gouged by the games. They also have a snack bar that has popcorn and all sorts of sodas, etc. Would definitely recommend it and it looks like they also have birthday parties and other group activities available.

It's a bit bigger than your average small town Fourth of July parade. We've done all sorts of different roles, including carrying the huge American flag to collecting tickets at the bleacher seats. There's aa 5K run beforehand as well as a children's parade where they toss some candy to the kids. For the main parade each of the local cities have a float as well as various clubs, groups, and organizations. The parade itself is about an hour to hour and a half. People line up days in advance to reserve their spots on the parade route so if you're going to attend, plan ahead!

The fourth of July freedom Festival Parade has a reputation for being one of the best in the…read morewestern United States. In comparison to past years when we have attended, this year's parade seemed much shorter. Fewer entries but still the usual high school marching bands, politicians in great classic cars, a variety of troops and veteran groups, law enforcement motorcycles, floats featuring beauty queens, and the ever popular larger than life character balloons delighted the crowds as they marched, walked or drove the shortened parade route this year. One fun aspect of the parade is claiming the best spot. Spectators are allowed to camp out starting the night before the parade begins. Luckily, our son was willing to camp out and claimed a prime spot along the parade route. We sat comfortably in the back of his pick up truck with a canopy tarp providing great shade for us to watch the parade and enjoy breakfast. One favorite group featured in this parade are the missionaries from the LDS missionary training center. This year, there seems to have been some controversy about which groups were allowed to participate in the parade and which were not. No matter what one's religious affiliation is, there is no doubt that this enthusiastic and impressive group resonates well with the crowd as they received standing ovations and cheers when the missionary group walked by. This is a great parade for families of all ages.

I've always loved the vibe of downtown Provo, which is an unpopular thing to say, since hating on…read moreUtah County is a beloved hobby of many Salt Lake County folks. However, I appreciate the uniqueness of the small businesses and the slower pace. Sure, I miss the occasional cocktail, but I also don't mind dry entertainment. Last night's adventure brought me to a live music event here at Velour. I did a little research ahead of time and learned that seating is extremely limited, as is the parking. So come early, in comfy shoes, and set your expectations accordingly. The ambience inside is sort of dark, moody and intimate. There's a dramatic feel to the place, without any (obvious) drama. Doors didn't open until 6:30, and there was a line along the sidewalk of folks waiting to get in. That added to the "big city" feel of the place, even for a not-so-big city. The acoustics were good, if not a tad loud. (Yup, I'm showing my age.) The lighting was colorful and energetic, not just a boring stagnant few slights. I would likely return to see a lively act that I'm really interested in-someone that I wouldn't mind standing in a crowd of people to watch.

However, my husband and I decided to pay another visit this evening, and holy cow I am so glad that we did! Tonight's show featured their main cast and a musical style second act. We were blown away by how talented these actors are in terms of singing, acting, and thinking on the spot; their jokes and spontaneity had us rolling! I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. We will definitely be coming back with friends :-) There will be mess-ups, unexpected twists, and I guarantee the cast on the stage will be laughing too. It's a warm and fun environment that everyone living in Provo should experience at some point. 10/10 !
