In southwestern Wyoming, the City of Green River cancelled this year’s Flaming Gorge Days scheduled to take place this month.
Flaming Gorge Days is organized by a dedicated standalone committee comprised of the URA Main Street Director and a group of volunteer residents and business leaders. This event has a long history in Green River and was revived in 2022 after being canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In recent weeks, officials conceded that essential plans for the event had not been completed. The City of Green River engaged with former committee members to assess the possibility of organizing a scaled-down version of the event for the weekend. Upon evaluation, officials concluded that the best decision would be to scrub the event this year.
