Western Legends Returns with Art, Style, & A Walk Through History
– By James McFadden –
Mark your calendar for the 23rd annual Western Legends Heritage and Music Festival on August 18-20th, 2022, in Kanab, Utah!
Enjoy legendary western movie stars, heroic bull riders, toe-tapping country music, and one-of-a-kind western art and craft vendors assembled in one epic location–, Kanab, Utah. Round up the family for this red-rock adventure and attend the ultimate cowboy experience.
For the fans of classic western movies, tickets are available for dinner and breakfast with the stars, plus autograph signings, panel discussions, and much more in the beautiful Kanab Center.
Tickets are available for the action-packed Western Legends rodeo Friday night, beginning at 6:30 PM. World famous bull and bronc riders compete for the cash and buckle that comes with winning the title of Champion. Watch the speed and agility of the ropers and barrel racers with their athlete horse companions. Early arrivals will get the treat of a teaser song from each of the bands competing in the country battle of the bands.
Speaking of the battle of the bands, you will enjoy some of the best up-and-coming country bands in the country competing for $10,000 in prize money- winner takes all! Each band will perform once on Friday and again on Saturday. The winner will then perform Saturday evening at the crowd-favorite street dance on North Main Street.
While listening to those sweet country tunes, enjoy shopping for that one-of-a-kind gift at the street fair with western arts and craft vendors, and enjoy a tasty meal from one of our many food vendors.
This year, for our “Legends Remembered” feature, we will be hosting Leon Brinkerhoff Memorial Team Roping Saturday, August 20, 2022, with more information on their website if you’d like to participate.
Suppose you reminisce about the classic country songs of Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, and all the past greats in country music. In that case, you can purchase tickets to the Country Legends Tribute concert on Saturday evening between the final act of the country battle of the bands and the street dance.
With the increased number of visitors to Kanab, tickets are expected to sell out. Get your room booked and tickets purchased early. For updates, tickets, and more information, check out the website: www.WesternLegendsRoundup.com
