FAQ

You ask, we answer.

The Donut vs. Doughnut debate may be older than the Utah vs. BYU rivalry, but we love both spellings and encourage you to use the one that makes you happiest! We use Donut because it’s shorter to type, and that makes our fingers happy!

Utah’s one and only donut festival was created by Bryan Carr and his amazing wife Heather, Utah parents with an “above average” appreciation for donuts. Bryan (aka @DonutsUnplugged) has visited over 250 donut shops across the country, many with Heather and their three kids in tow!

Absolutely! Kids are welcome to attend and can share your samples. If you’d like them to have their own samples, they’ll need their own ticket.
