Green River Melon Days Festival Returns for 117th Year

Green River, UT, USA - August 30, 2023 —

The eagerly anticipated Melon Days Festival is set to once again grace the charming town of Green River, Utah, very soon on September 15 and 16, 2023. This annual event, celebrating its 117th anniversary this year, promises a weekend filled with vibrant entertainment, delicious treats, and a strong sense of community.

Founded in 1906, the Green River Melon Days Festival has become a cherished tradition that brings together locals and visitors alike. Known for its warm and welcoming atmosphere, the festival showcases the region's agricultural bounty while offering diverse activities for all ages. Whether you love melon carving, softball tournaments, or parades, the Melon Days Festival will definitely have something to offer.

However, the real draw of Green River’s Melon Days is the delicious melons themselves. Featuring over 10 varieties of melons from three notable area farms (Dunham Farms, Thayn Farms, and Vetere Farms), there will be plenty of melons for everyone to enjoy. Each vendor will have melon tastings available and stacks of melons for attendees to purchase.

The event's charm, historical significance, and the unique celebration of the town's agricultural heritage often draw visitors from neighboring towns and nearby cities like Moab or Grand Junction, Colorado. However, the event also draws in people from farther away. The mix of local attendees and visitors adds to the festive atmosphere. It helps to create a memorable and vibrant celebration that reflects the diverse backgrounds and interests of those who come to experience the event.

If you are considering traveling to Green River for this year’s Melon Days Festival, consider making an entire weekend of it by taking advantage of the town’s robust accommodation offerings.

Outdoorsy types can camp at Green River State Park, which offers electric and water hookups at all sites, modernized restrooms with showers, and sheltered picnic tables. It’s the perfect way to embrace nature and spend the weekend in Green River.

If camping isn’t your thing, you can book a room at First Choice Inn at the Swell. This locally owned and operated hotel is located approximately one mile from the start of the Melon Days parade route and a short drive away from every event happening that weekend. The hotel offers outstanding amenities and a delicious breakfast buffet so you can fuel up before all of the Melon Day events.
