St. George is the largest city in Southern Utah and the gateway to Zion National Park. Home to Utah Tech University (formerly named Dixie State University), a booming arts scene, and some of the best year-round weather in the state, St. George has become a hub for events, festivals, and community gatherings.
Add in its proximity to Snow Canyon State Park, Sand Hollow State Park, and the red rock trails winding through Ivins and Santa Clara, and you’ve got a city built for people who love spending their days (and evenings) outside.
Whether you’re browsing a farmers market, spending the day biking the trails, or settling in for an outdoor concert, St. George keeps the calendar full in every season.
St. George's Must-Know Annual Events
Every October, the Huntsman World Senior Games bring athletes aged 50 and over from dozens of countries to compete in more than 40 sports over a two-week period, making it one of the largest events St. George hosts all year. The St. George Marathon draws runners from across the country every fall.
Other events keep the calendar packed all year long:
Farmers markets and art walks downtown
Live music, drag shows, and late-night entertainment
Outdoor film series and summer concerts
Family-friendly festivals and holiday events
Fitness and sporting events tied to the area’s trails, red rock, and warm climate
