Santa Clara’s Annual Swiss Days Celebration is truly a home-town celebration full of history and fun! Santa Clara celebrated its first Swiss Days in 1990 in tribute to the town’s heritage in which Swiss Pioneers settled in Santa Clara in 1861.
Swiss Days includes our famous 5K run/walk and pancake breakfast, followed by the always popular Swiss Days Parade heading east on Santa Clara Drive from the Jacob Hamblin home to the City Hall. The parade will showcase the Santa Clara Princess Royalty, antique cars, the Grand Marshal, local businesses and schools, live animals, homemade floats, and everything in between!
The 5K course starts at the Santa Clara Town Hall, follows Santa Clara Drive west, loops around Hamblin Drive, heads back east on Santa Clara Drive, onto Arrowhead Trail to Lava Flow Dr. and finishes on Vineyard Drive. No pets allowed in race.
AWARDS: Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female winners in the open and masters divisions and to the top three finisher in each age division. All contestants will be eligible for other prize drawings.
The three day festival at Town Hall will also include food and merchandise vendors, continuous entertainment including a free Friday night concert, town and family heritage displays, pioneer craft demonstrations (at Heritage Square), races, tournaments, magic show, bingo, children’s games and more. In addition, a Red Rock Car Show will be at Canyon View Park.
