Name: 18th Little Bloomsbury (America 250) Art Festival
Start: 2026-10-23
End: 2026-10-25

Starting Friday Dec. 2, the horse-drawn sleigh and wagon rides will be offered through the middle of hundreds of wild elk while they are feeding at the southern Cache Valley site. The elk are fed during the winter to try to keep them from migrating down Blacksmith Fork Canyon into private haystacks in the valley below. This winter, the length of time staff feed the elk will be shorter than it has been in the past. New this year is Haviland’s Old West Adventures, a long-time business in Cache County will offer the rides on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Rides will be offered every weekend through Feb. 12 and start at 10 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. each day. IMPORTANT: Tickets for sleigh rides are sold only at the Hardware Wildlife Education Center on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that you cannot make reservations for sleigh rides. PRICES Ages 3 and younger: free Ages 4–8: $4 Ages 9 and up: $10 A food truck will be present during sleigh ride hours to sell snacks and beverages.

Tucked away in Cache County, Hyrum State Park offers many recreation opportunities including fishing, boating, and camping. Surrounded by tall, shady trees, Hyrum provides an excellent place for an afternoon picnic, or spend the whole weekend trolling on the lake catching yellow perch, rainbow trout, bluegill, and largemouth bass.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

The 18th Little Bloomsbury (America 250) Art Festival celebrates 250 years of storytelling through art, magic shows, storytelling competition and concerts, plein air competition, workshops, and art and history tours. Little Bloomsbury believes that "A Great Nation Deserves Great Affordable Art" as its newly restored historic cottage venue re-opens as a historic hotel and commission-free gallery in support of fresh local produce for the food bank with great affordable art.  
  
ART OVER THE HUNTER'S MOON: Like fall-blooming native plants that support pollinators when other plants have passed their blooming season, the 18th Little Bloomsbury Art Festival over the Hunter's Moon provides an exciting opportunity for artists of all ages and backgrounds to have a head start on creating art. Fall is a critical time to make sure pollinators have enough food to sustain them for the winter. Like fall bloomers that provide nutrients to bees, butterflies, and moths to get them through the long migration and hibernation in the winter ahead, the Little Bloomsbury America 250 Art Festival serves as a launch pad for aspiring and mature artists beyond the summer lull of art competition and fairs as it provides great, affordable creations by artists of all ages for all to enjoy and cherish.  
  
All Little Bloomsbury Art Festival events including art submission and food and beverages are free and open to all ages.
