Utah has a lot to offer college students this summer. If you are taking summer classes, staying in the state or haven’t made any major plans yet, this list is for you.
During the next couple months, Utah will be holding several fun events that you and your friends do not want to miss out on.
The Lantern Festival
On May 19, in Grantsville, the movie “Tangled” will be brought to life. In an open field, hundreds will come together to enjoy live music, campfires, games and a lantern ceremony where festival patrons will light and release a lantern.
Get your tickets soon! Prices raise the longer you wait.

The Dirty Dash
For all of you runners out there, and for those who like to get dirty, you have to check out the Dirty Dash. On June 9 at Soldier Hollow in Midway, a huge obstacle race will be set up filled with mud pits, waterslides, haystacks and slippery bouncy houses.
This is fun for the whole family! It is not a timed race and people have the option of running, swimming or walking for five or ten kilometers. It’s a great way to cool off from the summer sun and a great excuse to play in the mud.
