More than 100 groups marched, rolled and trotted down the streets of downtown Salt Lake City on Wednesday for the 2019 edition of the Days of ’47 Parade.

Thousands of people cheered them along to celebrate the state’s heritage on Pioneer Day. Many of the revelers camped overnight to find a good spot to view the parade on its route.
