The one to see if you only see one
The Annual Utah Quilt Show at the Springville Museum of Art has been running since the early 1970s — the 2026 edition was the fifty-second — which makes it one of the longest-running quilt shows anywhere in the country. It's juried and free to visit; the 2026 exhibition runs July 18–September 26. Check the museum's current hours before visiting.
It's put on by the museum together with the Utah Valley Quilt Guild, with support from Corn Wagon Quilt Co. just down the road — which tells you something about how tightly the shops, guilds and institutions here are wound together.
Shop hops
The Utah Shop Hop is a block trail across participating shops: you collect as you go, and there are prizes. Practically speaking it's the best excuse in the calendar to drive somewhere you've never been — most people who do one end up with a new favorite shop two counties over.
We built a shop hop planner for exactly this. Pick the day you're going and it shows which shops are actually open — several close on Mondays and a few shut at four, then builds the route and hands it to Google Maps, so you're not typing nine addresses into a phone in a parking lot.
If you'd rather browse first, the county pages show what's clustered near what. Sandy has two shops a short walk apart on Main Street, and St. George has five within a few minutes of each other.
Guild shows
Beyond the big fixtures, individual guilds run their own shows and fairs — the Utah Valley guild's July fair in a Wallsburg barn, the Delta guild's snow goose show, and others that never get advertised much beyond a Facebook group. The guild list is the best starting point.
Running an event we've missed, or spotted a date that's changed? We'd like to know — tell us and we'll add it.
