Cedar City is not only home to Southern Utah University but also the annual Utah Shakespeare Festival, which draws in about 100,000 patrons each year over a sixteenweek season held June through October. This festival features a mix of contemporary plays and Shakespearean pieces held in the

Engelstad Shakespeare Theatre, an outdoor replica of the Bard’s original Globe Theatre.

Less than an hour’s drive from Cedar City is the city of St. George, a metro area fast approaching the 200,000-population mark, according to the Census Bureau. One visit and it’s easy to see why: its stunning natural beauty and red rock cliffs, combined with access to outdoor recreation and mild winter temperatures, make it the perfect year-round place to live and play. Access to two national parks, Zion and Bryce, and one national monument, Grand Staircase-Escalante, mean a bevy of natural wonders are just waiting to be explored.

In the heart of historic downtown St. George, you’ll find many shops, art galleries and restaurants to explore. But for a really unique experience only 20 minutes from downtown, take a trip to Kayenta Art Village, which is perfect for grabbing brunch and walking around local art shops while viewing the amazing red rock cliffs.
