2026 FIREWORK RESTRICTIONS
Due to the elevated wildfire risk throughout Utah, Governor Spencer Cox issued an Executive Order allowing local officials to further restrict fireworks in areas where conditions present a significant fire danger. After reviewing local conditions, Mayor Travis Mote and Fire Chief Van Mund have determined that fireworks will be permitted only within a limited area of Willard City from July 2–5, in accordance with state law. No fireworks will be permitted during the Pioneer Day holiday (July 22–25) due to the current fire danger. These restrictions are intended to protect our residents, homes, agricultural lands, and surrounding open spaces while allowing for a safe Independence Day celebration.

Willard Canyon Agreements
|
Willard Canyon is a favorite destination for residents of Willard and neighboring communities. With its steep slopes, rugged terrain, and unbeatable views, it’s one of the area’s most treasured landscapes.
In 2023, Staker Parsons expressed interest in beginning mining operations on privately owned land within Willard Canyon. Mayor Travis Mote and the City Council worked to ensure that the City’s priorities—and the community’s concerns—were addressed before any work could move forward.
