Golden Onion Days

Friday, August 30, 2024 (All day) to Monday, September 2, 2024 (All day)

August 30 - September 2, 2024

This annual celebration was first held in 1929 as an opportunity for residents and former residents to renew old friendships and make new ones. Originally known as the Onion Harvest and Homecoming, the event honored Payson’s status as an agricultural district and outstanding producer of onions. The celebration was later renamed Payson City Golden Onion Days, and that is the name that remains to this day.

Golden Onion Days is typically held each year on Labor Day weekend and includes events such as concerts, carnival, baby contest, car show, 5K and 10K races, parade, fireworks, food, and merchandise vendors.

Please watch for the 2024 Golden Onion Days Booklet, which describes all the wonderful events that will be held this year.
