This Is The Place Heritage Park

BROTHER BRIGHAM'S BALL

(JULY 23)

This is The Place Heritage Park invites you to join in for some old-time fun at the 2nd Annual Brother Brigham’s Ball.  It will be held July 23rd at the Brigham Young Farm House at This Is The Place Heritage Park, near the mouth of Emigration Canyon.  The ball begins at 7:00 pm and lasts until 9:30 pm.   During the 1st Annual Brother Brigham’s Ball in 2009, scores of ball goers enjoyed the revival of this early Utah tradition.   Brigham’s Ball celebrates the cultural imprint Brigham Young had on Utah as the governor and president of the LDS church.   He hosted numerous dances and grand balls in the city and at his farm home, which was originally located in Sugar House and is now located in the Park.

 Come ready to kick-up-your-heels and swing your partner to the acclaimed brass band, the 7th Infantry Regimental Band, while learning the Two-Step from some of Salt Lake’s best dance masters, the Old Glory Dancers.   In addition to the Grande March, poetry readings and learning dance steps, there will also be a variety of historical games and activities to delight and entertain the whole family!   Pioneer-period dress is suggested so spit polish your shoes, mark your calendar and we’ll see you in line for the Virginia Reel!
