====Icelandic Days====
The Icelandic Association of Utah was founded in 1897 and hosts Iceland Days every year. The association picked June because [[Icelandic Independence Day]], or National Day, is June 17.

Spanish Fork was the first Icelandic settlement in the United States, after Icelanders who joined the [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|Church of Jesus Christ]] were expelled from that country, according to association spokesman Glenn Grossman.{{Citation needed|date=April 2019}} Although other nationalities helped found the town, under colonizer [[Brigham Young]], Icelanders kept their identity and celebrate it with their culture every year during the three-day event.

====Harvest Moon Hurrah====
The Harvest Moon Hurrah is sponsored by the Spanish Fork Arts Council and takes place on a Saturday in September closest to the date of the full moon. Activities include children's crafts and activities, a giant paint-it-yourself mural, storyteller, old-fashioned family photos, caricature artist, clown and balloon animals, hay rides with live bluegrass band, and live entertainment. The 2009 Hurrah was headlined by [[Peter Breinholt]], a local musician.<ref name="hurrah">{{cite web|url=http://www.spanishfork.org/dept/parkrec/arts/hurrah.php|title=Harvest Moon Hurrah|date=n.d.|publisher=Spanish Fork, Utah|url-status=dead|archive-date=2013-01-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130116044405/http://www.spanishfork.org/dept/parkrec/arts/hurrah.php}}</ref>
