Mapleton’s Pioneer Days, presented by UCCU, is a week-long celebration held mid-July each year and includes sports tournaments, historical programs, a parade, 5K, park activities, helicopter ping pong drop, live entertainment, and a firework show with well over 10,000 people in attendance. This event is intended to foster community connection for residents—new and old—as we celebrate our community's heritage.
As we celebrate 125 years of Mapleton and 250 years of America, this year’s theme—“125: Together We Thrive”—reminds us that our strength comes from connection. From our pioneer roots to the community we are today, Pioneer Days is a time to come together, honor our shared story, and look ahead with pride.
