Thank you for your interest in becoming a volunteer for "The Rodeo Posse."

The Utah Days of ‘47 Rodeo is one of Utah’s longest-standing traditions celebrating Utah’s heritage since 1857. The rodeo, and other Days of ‘47 events, commemorate the day July 24, 1847 when a determined company of Mormon pioneers realized their dreams upon entering the Great Salt Valley.

This year, the Utah Days of '47 Rodeo will be held from July 21-25, 2026.

Our Volunteers are essential in creating this sense of community and heritage! The Days of ’47 Posse will be comprised of hard working volunteers from groups in the Salt Lake City community.
