Explore Utah Valley: First Down Provo
Date: Friday, September 11, 6:00–9:00P.M., Old Courthouse County Grounds, Downtown Provo
Tradition Challenge: Head downtown for First Down Provo and discover community beyond campus.
Downtown Provo Meets Cougar Nation
First Down Provo is a great opportunity to start exploring the city beyond Cougar campus. Brought together by Explore Utah Valley, BYU Athletics, and the BYU Alumni Association, it's a free street celebration in the heart of Downtown Provo to kick off Big 12 football season. Expect live music, fire dancers, food trucks, and local shopping, plus free Swig for the first 2,000 fans.
It's also a chance to give back. The event will include the first-ever Cougs Care service project held in Provo, a food drive benefiting the local community, coinciding with the National Day of Service during Hunger Action Month. This is a chance to see Provo as more than a backdrop to campus and experience a community with local businesses, traditions, and neighbors.
