July 21, 2025 - Happiest Night on Earth, Frontier Fun Zone

What’s Up Provo! And Orem! Hopefully you feel more connected to the community because of these news & event summaries and that they save you some time, as well.

Anyway, happy Invite An Alien To Live With You Day 👽, let’s get into it!

In Partnership with
The Startup Building

It’s a gorgeous space with all the style, vibes, and history built-in already.

Also, the location is so close to Provo City Center temple, the price is very reasonable, they have all the amenities you need ready for you to use – the only problem is making sure it’s available on your wedding day!

So schedule a tour sometime and check out their beautiful indoor space as well as the outdoor courtyard! (check this calendar to see what days are available)

📷 Check out their photo gallery and see why this is one of Provo’s most popular event centers. (Did you know it is also a historic candy factory?)
📍 100 W 560 S St, Provo

If you want to be one of them let us know. Learn more about WUP partnerships

🐮 Dairy Days

The annual Dairy Days celebration is here again! At certain times of the day they will give guests an opportunity to milk a cow. There will be live demonstrations happening throughout the day, you can churn your own butter, and then taste their ice cream for free! (Free ice cream tasting is between 10:30am - 4pm.) 

Also, they will be naming one of the calves and they are giving the community the chance to vote and choose the name. (Cowy McCowface anyone?)
