The Star Valley Independent has an article on the changes for this year's Mountain Days, which will be the event's 23rd year. (More about Alpine's Annual Mountain Days in our Events Calendar)

Two big changes taking place this year are date and location. The date for this year’s event is June 22-24, the weekend following the traditional date of Father’s Day weekend.

With the change in date also comes the change in location and the return of the event to within the Town of Alpine. Mountain Days will take place in the Alpine Civic Center and the adjoining Marge Grover Memorial Park.
