There’s just nothing like a sweet, juicy watermelon…but a Green River melon is even better. The melons here are so epic that the town of Green River celebrates them with a festival every fall.
Get ready, because OK Anderson Park in Green River is about to turn into the grounds for Utah’s best festival of the year.
