Where else can you see approximately 1,000 head of sheep being the crowning entry of a parade? Only in Cedar City where every fall it hosts the historic sheep parade. In 1890, Cedar City cattlemen purchased a herd of sheep from Colorado. This parade signifies the movement of the sheep when the animals are herded from Cedar Mountain pastures down Cedar City’s Main Street, providing an exciting glimpse of the Old West and its livestock heritage to spectators along the route. The sheep parade, which also includes horses, wagons, antique tractors, historic and modern sheep camps, is a highlight event and probably one of the most unique parades in the country.
