Step into the past and experience living history at the Colonial Heritage Festival. This family-friendly event is a perfect blend of education and entertainment, set to take place from July 2nd to 4th at SCERA Park in Orem.
Date & Time:
Venue:
Explore a recreated colonial village where every corner brings a new discovery. Visit the apothecary shop, blacksmith, cooper, broom maker, gunsmith, and more. Watch artisans at work, from spoon making to pottery, and learn about various fiber crafts, chandlery, and baking. Don’t miss the Isaiah Thomas Print Shop for a glimpse into colonial-era publishing.
The festival is designed to be interactive, with Q&A sessions and audience participation programs that are both educational and entertaining. Children and families will have the chance to play colonial games and engage in daily chores of the period, offering a hands-on understanding of early American life.
Military enthusiasts will be thrilled with the gun displays, cannon firings, and military demonstrations from the Continental and His Majesty’s Forces. Join the exciting Culper Spy Ring activity and help deliver messages to key battle players – but be cautious, as you might find yourself in the pillory!
You’ll also have the unique opportunity to meet with both Patriot and Loyalist reenactors. Engage in conversations and ask those burning historical questions you’ve always had.
