The annual Western Legends Roundup festival will be held in Kanab Aug. 25–27. The event touts itself as “a celebration of film, music, poetry, and western heritage.”
The event includes Western-themed activities and opportunities to meet movie stars like Clint Walker, Roberta Shore, and Lana Wood who once came to Kane County to film Western classics.
Visitors can also enjoy tours of the sets and scenery of popular Western TV shows and movies. This year’s tour lineup includes a visit to the caves thought to have once held the coveted and mysterious Montezuma’s Treasure, a trip through the sets of Gun Smoke and Josey Wales, and a trip to see historic petroglyph panels. Tours range from $25-$40 in price.
This year’s program will include music from Willie Nelson tribute “True Willie,” Bill Anderson, Mickey Gilley, and many more. Tickets to the shows range from $30 to $35.
The event will also feature autograph sessions, a western street fair, a tractor pull, a high noon parade, and a barn dance.
If you plan on attending multiple events, you can consider purchasing either the Cowboy Membership Package for $220 or the Ultimate Cowboy Membership Package for $330. Both packages come with tickets to all the concerts, a selection of tours and lectures, a few meals, and souvenirs.
