Springville City Events & Activities
Spring Salon Exhibit
The Spring Salon was first held in 1922. It was started by students and teachers at Springville High School who wanted to exhibit and promote original artwork. The Salon has been held annually since that time except during World War II, when fuel and other goods were rationed nationwide. The Springville Museum of Art continues the tradition to this day. This exhibition is a juried competition that showcases the diversity and quality of contemporary Utah art, and the museum invites all artists in Utah to participate in each Salon.

World Folkfest
The World Folkfest, held in Springville every summer, is one of the USA’s largest festivals of folk dance and music. Each year, folk dance and music ensembles travel from countries around the world to Springville where they perform the dances of their cultures on the outdoor stage at the Spring Acres Arts Park, located at 700 S. 300 East in Springville (just northeast of Springville High School). The dancers and musicians stay with local host families. A free street dance is offered during the Folkfest where the dancers teach simple folk dances to the public.
This year, due to COVID restrictions, the Folkfest will be unable to host dancers from other countries. Instead, the Folkfest will present performances featuring local ethnic dance groups. The performances will be held Friday, July 30, and Saturday, July 31. For more information, visit worldfolkfest.org.
