There are a few that I can think of here in Salt Lake. The main one is the Days of 47 Parade which is held on July 24, the day the Mormons arrived in Salt Lake valley. I'm not Mormon, so I have absolutely no interest in this parade.
Another is First Night, which is a big party held in the downtown area on New Years Eve. It promotes a safe, alcohol free environment for people who want to celebrate, but don't want to drink. I've been to it a few times, its pretty fun but its also outdoors and frigging freezing.
The third is the Utah Arts Festival, which is a big festival with live music, food, local artists selling their work, etc. It's really fun and I've attended it many, many times.
I'm sure there are probably more I'm forgetting, but they are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
