Nominations must include a living person who will attend the Lehi Heritage Day celebrations on Labor Day, Mon., Sept. 4. Ideal nominees have lived many years in Lehi, although not necessarily currently, and have done much for the betterment of life in Lehi. After all nominations have been collected, the historical society studies the submissions and votes to determine who will be honored. Eight couples or individuals are chosen each year to be honored.

A list of past honorees can be found here. 

Put on by Lehi City and the historical society, Lehi Heritage Day celebrates Lehi’s finest contributors today as well as the city’s impressive past. The event begins with activities that celebrate the honorees and then wraps up with events honoring the past.

Lehi Heritage Day honorees are celebrated with a feature article in the Lehi Free Press prior to the actual event. Then, on Labor Day, honorees ride in the Lehi Heritage Day Showcase Parade up Main Street and are celebrated in a special program with the mayor and city council members. Most especially, each honoree is awarded their own brick in the Walk of Fame Garden in front of the Legacy Center at 123 N. Center. After the program, honorees move into the Senior Center for displays and a meet-and-greet for the public, family and friends. 

During this same time, historic displays, Chick-fil-A and a classic car show are also in progress. This year’s Lehi Heritage Day theme will revolve around the beautiful old homes of Lehi as it did last year.
