EVENTS

Showcase Parade

Lehi Heritage Day kicks off with the Showcase Parade featuring the year’s honorees as well as 20 classic cars and bikes. Parades date back to the very earliest days in Lehi and were instituted to promote community. Traveling from 600 North up Center Street to the Legacy Center, the parade is a beautiful salute to those who’ve given tremendous amounts of service to Lehi as well as to our earliest settlers.

Honoree Celebration

Lehi Heritage Day honorees are presented their own brick in the Walk of Fame Garden in front of the Legacy Center by the mayor and city council members in this celebration. View past honorees here.

Meet and Greet

Lehi Heritage Day honorees gather in the Senior Center at the Legacy Center to greet family, friends and the public. Displays highlight the honorees.

Lehi Heritage Day Displays and Activities

Each year the Lehi Historical Society and Archives chooses a theme for Lehi Heritage Day, which is presented during this time in the North Gym of the Legacy Center. A small army of Archive and community members come together to create exhibits, display artifacts, carry out activities and so forth to bring the year’s theme to fruition. Chick-fil-A is also made available. Click here to view past Lehi Heritage Day themes.

Our Sponsors:

Lehi Heritage Day is the brainchild of John Knollin Haws, founder of the Lehi Historical Society and Archives. His goal was to share Lehi’s beautiful past as well as celebrate those working to make Lehi the great place it is today.

In 2012, Haws was a man with a dream. Armed with four boxes of history from Lehi historian Richard Van Wagoner and thousands of items he had collected throughout his life, he formed the Friends of the Archives with the help of Judy Hansen, Rhea Lewis, Lynette Harris and Mike Southwick. The first Lehi Heritage Day came to fruition in 2016. John died in 2017.
