Fan Fests coming to Farmington and St. George in May

PROVO, Utah — Get ready Cougar Nation. BYU Athletics will host two Fan Fest events in Utah this month, with student-athletes from football and other Cougar teams coming to Farmington on Wednesday, May 11 (6-8:30 p.m.) and St. George on Saturday, May 21 (10 a.m.-12:30 p.m.). 

BYU athletes participating in the two Fan Fest events include members of football, men’s basketball, women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, gymnastics and cheer teams. Similar to the Cougar Kickoff held in Provo each year in August, BYU Fan Fest events are a tradition that began in 2013 to give Cougar fans in other communities the opportunity to meet and interact with BYU student-athletes.

This year's events will provide fans the chance to put their skills to the test doing drills with BYU athletes as well as participate in other games and festivities such as an inflatable obstacle course, bounce houses, lawn games, face painting, caricature artists, ballon artists and pictures with Cosmo.  

BYU football ticket giveaways will take place during each Fan Fest as well as opportunities for fans to win BYU prizes and Nike gear through the skill drills, competitions and activities.

Cougar Club, BYU Alumni, football tickets and tailgating information will be available on site along with BYU Store merchandise and food concessions, including CougarTails, BYU Creamery ice cream and chocolate milk. The Fan Fest events will be full of music and fun for everyone in the family.

Fans not able to attend will also have the chance to follow the St. George Fan Fest on BYUtv. A special one-hour Saturday episode of BYU Sports Nation will be broadcast live on site at the Fan Fest from Sandtown Park at 10 a.m. MT.  The address for each Fan Fest and additional details are included below.
