Founded in 1996 by a group of Alta locals and Alta Community Enrichment (one of their first events), the Festival is a special opportunity to educate visitors on how to ensure the protection of this important and unique natural resource. The Wasatch Wildflower Festival’s guided walks and activities are designed to be fun, family-friendly, non-commercial, free of charge, and open to all interests and ability levels. Volunteers share their knowledge and enthusiasm for an amazing variety of species on a variety of beautiful walks. The tours also reinforce careful stewardship and awareness of the ecology of the watershed environment. Come enjoy multiple days of wildflower walks, kids’ crafts, music, food, and a healthy dose of the beautiful Cottonwood Canyons.

The 2025 Festival is cohosted with the Brighton Institute at Brighton and Solitude.  Snowbird Sustainability, and Alta Community Enrichment and Alta Environmental Center, are cohosting at Snowbird and Alta, respectively.
