About Us

The Utah Dough Show brings together Utah’s best local donut shops and bakeries in one place for you to taste! Every ticket holder gets a sample from every vendor, which means you can literally try 20+ Utah donut shops in one day!

Here’s the best part – net proceeds from the Utah Dough Show are donated to two Utah-based charities: The Utah 1033 Foundation and The Christmas Box International.

The 2022 Dough Show raised over $16,000, making our slogan “Eat Dough to Raise Dough” sound even sweeter!

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!
