Taylorsville Dayzz One-Night Celebration Is a Go but Only If It’s ‘Green’
- 7:30 p.m., live music on the main stage, which will be the only stage this year
- 9 p.m., Ogden Skydivers
- 10 p.m., Fireworks Extravaganza
The Taylorsville Dayzz Committee has been grappling with whether to hold Taylorsville Dayzz this year. Planning the event, of course, has been complicated by restrictions aimed at limiting the spread of the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Most of Utah is now operating under a “yellow” designation, meaning the virus generally poses a “low risk,” although individuals are still encouraged to wear a protective mask and continue to practice social distancing. Public gatherings have been limited to no more than 50 people.
If the state, including Taylorsville, remains in this “yellow phase,” the Taylorsville Dayzz festival will be called off and we will celebrate next year. But if the state is moved to the “green phase” by June 27, an abbreviated Taylorsville Dayzz will go forward.
The Taylorsville Dayzz 5K will be held as a Virtual Run. See details here.
So long as the Taylorsville-area is designated green, the Taylorsville Dayzz festival will be held on the evening of June 27 at Valley Regional Park, 5135 S. 2700 West. It will feature evening activities only, including:
- 7:30 p.m., live music on the main stage, which will be the only stage this year
- 9 p.m., Ogden Skydivers
- 10 p.m., Fireworks Extravaganza
“We are closely monitoring COVID guidelines,” said Taylorsville Dayzz Chair Jim Dunnigan. “If we are still in yellow, we will not be able to celebrate on June 27.”
If the festival does go forward, as the green phase permits, social distancing of 6 feet between households is still required, and the use of face coverings is strongly encouraged. “If you have symptoms or have underlying health conditions, we encourage you to enjoy the fireworks from your home, if possible” Dunnigan said.
Blast from the past
Here’s a few highlights from previous years.
Thank you, as well, to our 5K sponsors and volunteers
This year’s Taylorsville Dayzz 5K will be a virtual race, from June 20-27. A Virtual Run is just like a traditional run but it takes place on the day, time and location of your choice during that time period. Registration is due June 14.
