Key takeaways

  • The Lehi Summer Splash Party is a free, city-run event taking place July 25 at Family Park Amphitheater.
  • The event features live music from Late Night Thoughts and professional fireworks following the concert.
  • Personal fireworks remain banned in Lehi through July 26 due to fire risks.
  • The celebration marks the first time the annual event is staged at the newly opened Family Park.

Lehi's annual Summer Splash Party is scheduled for July 25 at the Family Park Amphitheater. The event, which is a free, city-produced community celebration rather than a private business, will feature live music starting at 6 p.m., food trucks available from 6 to 9:30 p.m., and a professional fireworks display immediately following the concert.

Residents attending the event are advised to bring lawn chairs and blankets. The festivities are expected to take place within a window of 6 to 10:30 p.m.

The 2026 celebration marks a transition to Family Park, a facility that opened on September 14, 2024, following a nearly $20 million development project. The park features an aviation-themed all-abilities playground, a 420-square-foot splash pad, and an amphitheater.

The musical lineup includes local opening acts beginning at 6 p.m., with the touring group Late Night Thoughts serving as the headliner. The event's programming is part of Lehi's municipal recreation calendar, funded and staffed by the city's events and parks department.

While the festival features a professional fireworks show, Lehi officials remind residents that personal fireworks remain prohibited through the Pioneer Day holiday, including July 26, due to elevated fire risks.

The splash pad at Family Park operates on a schedule from Memorial Day through Labor Day, daily from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Regulations for interactive water features in the area are overseen by the Utah County Board of Health, which governs the design and operation of such facilities.

For those unable to attend the festival, Ivory Ridge Park offers a separate public splash pad with similar seasonal hours. The city's summer calendar continues following the Splash Party with National Night Out on August 4 and Outdoor Movie Night on August 14.
