Like Christmas In July - Utah's Pioneer Day

A tribute on the twenty-fourth is paid To pioneers who came here one July, Then stopped in Salt Lake’s valley, where they stayed. A tribute on the twenty-fourth is paid To those who died; to those who lived and made A Zion out of land both hot and dry. A tribute on the twenty-fourth is paid To pioneers who came here one July. Like Christmas in July, this holiday, Is celebrated with a huge parade. The businesses are closed; the people play. Like Christmas in July, this holiday Is time for family, and good folks pray That thoughts of those who sacrificed won’t fade. Like Christmas in July, this holiday, Is celebrated with a huge parade!
