Salem Days

Salem Days is a week-long celebration full of activities ranging from a Dutch oven cook-off to a movie in the park, a children’s parade, sporting events, a car show and a children’s carnival. The week wraps up with the Grand Parade, a day full of events at Veterans Memorial Park and a concert and fireworks at Salem’s Knoll Park.

Head To The Lake 75

There are multiple public access points to Utah Lake located near the Spanish Fork/Salem area. They include: Sandy Beach: This is a popular area for fishing, birding, swimming, waterfowl hunting and launching small craft like kayaks or canoes (small enough to be carried by hand, no trailers allowed). During lower water elevation years, there is good beach access; if the water is high, the road dead ends into the lake.

Rock Island Waterfowl Management Area: This area is popular for waterfowl and upland game hunting, angling, wading and birding.

Lincoln Point: This is a popular shore fishing location. Mulberry Beach: This beach is a spectacular spot to watch the sun set over Utah Lake, especially in fall and winter. It’s popular for shore fishing and small watercraft can be launched here.

Each month, Tabitha’s Way Local Food Pantry South in Spanish Fork serves more than 1,000 families. In 2022, the pantry provided an estimated 1.9 million meals. Tabitha’s Way accepts donations of food, and you can participate in a number of ways: through a church, school or community food drive; donate as an individual or family; organize a food drive for your organization or company; or conduct a virtual food drive and raise money for the pantry to buy perishable food items. Donation guidelines and hours can be found on the Tabitha’s Way website as well as a list of what items are needed most.
