Annual Local Events

Easter Egg Hunt

The Saturday before Easter the Utica Community Foundation hosts an Easter egg hunt for children 0 to age 10. The hunt is held at the Pool Park on Iowa Street.

Memorial Day

Each Memorial Day is celebrated at the cemetery. The American Legion displays the Avenue of Flags and presents a speaker. The public is invited and the program is a reminder of those who served our country.

Heritage Days

Every summer toward the end of July Utica area residents gather to celebrate. One family is chosen to represent the founding and contributions that family has made to the community. Activities include a car show, tractor show, craft fair, parade, kid’s games, softball tournaments and garage sales.

Ring In the Holidays

The Utica Senior Centers sponsors a Ring in the Holidays celebration in November. A few homes open their doors to the public to display their Christmas decorations and traditions. Hot cider and other goodies are available at the Senior Center. bnm
