Day-Long Pioneer Day Celebrations and Firework Radio Broadcast at University Place
OREM, Utah (July 12, 2021) – University Place today announced a full line up of events at The Orchard to celebrate Pioneer Day on July 24. New this year, free concerts and activities will be going on all day beginning at 11 a.m. Festivities will wrap-up around 9:30 p.m. with a spectacular firework show choreographed to music, that will be broadcast over the radio. This is the first year University Place has arranged a live radio broadcast of the firework show.
“Every year we want to enhance and improve the guest experience at our events,” said Randy Woodbury, president, and CEO of Woodbury Corporation. “The Pioneer Day firework show is consistently the most attended event of the year at The Orchard, and the choreographed broadcast will allow even more people to join-in on the festivities.”
The radio station the music will be broadcast on will be announced the morning of the 24th on Instagram and Facebook (@universityplaceorem), and on the University Place website (https://www.universityplaceorem.com). The broadcast is expected to reach people within a half mile radius of The Orchard. This allows for many surrounding homes, including residents of The Aston, The Devon and The Exton to be able to listen to the music while they watch the fireworks from home. It will also allow for people parked in the surrounding parking lots of University Place to listen and watch the show from the comfort of their cars.
