The 16th Annual Festival of Roses will take place May 15-17 at the Skaggs Catholic Center located at 300 E. 11800 South in Draper.  This annual event, a fundraiser for Saint John the Baptist Parish, began back in 1999 and quickly gained local support; becoming a community tradition that continues to grow in size and numbers each year.

The festival is a family oriented event open to the entire community and offers something for everyone!  There is free live entertainment all weekend long, carnival rides & games provided by City of Fun, a silent auction, 5k Race and Family Fun Walk (Saturday a.m.), classic car show (Saturday afternoon), a golf tournament, vendor booths, a wide variety of food & beverages for purchase, and more.

Wristbands for unlimited carnival rides can be purchased in advance only by visiting the festival website and clicking on “carnival rides”. Visit www.sjb-parish.org/festival.html to find out more.
