Activities : Western Legends Round-Up

Western Legends Round-Up and Western Film Festival is the signature event held in Kane County each year. This event was created to honor the richness of Western movie history, and to celebrate the 100-plus classic Western movies and television series filmed in the area over the years, including the well-known Gunsmoke.

If you love the Western way of life, you won’t want to miss the Western Legends Round-Up, held every August in Kanab, Utah, on the Thursday through Sunday one week before Labor Day weekend. The event features Western vendors and exhibits, Western entertainment and concerts, cowboy poetry, cowboy cookin’ and autograph sessions with some of your favorite classic Western movie stars.

The annual parade at “high noon” kicks the event into high gear with an old-fashioned cattle drive through town, complete with texas longhorn cattle.

Kanab’s Main Street is closed to traffic to make room for two outdoor stages with live entertainment throughout the day, along with Western style booths, with vendors selling authentic cowboy gear, Western art and delicious treats.
