The annual Cedar City Sheep Parade, a cherished tradition in Utah, once again graced the city's Main Street with the spectacle of over 1,000 sheep making their way from Cedar Mountain pastures.

Part of the Cedar Livestock and Heritage Festival, this remarkable procession, which dates back to 1870, showcased the enduring connection between the community and its agricultural heritage. The parade was a colorful spectacle, with not only the majestic flock of sheep but also antique tractors, horses, wagons, stock dogs, youth groups, and even bagpipe bands joining the celebration.

The festival's website proudly proclaims the Cedar City Sheep Parade as "probably one of the most unique parades in the country." It serves as a testament to the city's deep-rooted history in farming and agriculture.

The city expressed its enthusiasm for the event, noting, "It's a great way to celebrate our rich history in farming and agriculture." The sheep's journey continues as they make their way to their winter homes, providing locals with more opportunities to witness these woolly travelers.

The Cedar City Police Department shared on Facebook that the parade was "a great success," underscoring the enduring appeal of this annual tradition that brings the community together and highlights the city's agricultural legacy.
