The Pioneer Legacy Celebration 2026

Written and produced by world-renowned Merrill Osmond & his son Justin, the production is based on their strong belief that today’s youth are the hope and future of tomorrow. This production will feature 100+ youth who will sing, dance and re-enact the stories of the pioneer trek West and their attempt to settle the untamed valley of southern Utah. The Production will delight you with wagons, handcarts, live animals, entertaining music, special guests, and one of the largest fireworks displays in the valley. The Production recounts the journey of the pioneers and conveys tales of all of Utah's other settlers, such as Catholic missionary colonizers; Greek and Italian pioneers; the Chinese, Jewish and Mormon settlers; as well as the Native Americans. This Youth Pioneer Production is FREE ADMISSION and our goal is to unite families and friends throughout the community & bring them closer together as we embark on a journey that will remind us of the legacy our ancestors left behind. The Youth Pioneer Production celebrates this pioneer legacy and ensures that history is not forgotten.
