Because the St. George area is located between the Rocky Mountains and the desert southwest, it features the distinct landscapes of both. It has forested mountain ranges and high plateaus, along with rugged and starkly beautiful red rock desert.

What a delightful event




The Dicken’s Christmas Festival....an annual event held the first week in December.

Step back in time and enjoy the sights and sounds of 19th Century Old London Town as it comes to life at The Dickens' Christmas Festival held in the St. George Dixie Convention Center. This Festival is not just another craft show, but a unique and unusual entertainment and shopping experience. Guests wind through narrow village streets as they shop for gifts and rub shoulders with a cast of Dickens' characters such as Tiny Tim, Scrooge and even Queen Victoria. Old English shops, hundreds of period costumes, orphans, royalty, and the "real" Father Christmas all combine to offer guests a holiday experience like no other!

There is continuous entertainment from local and statewide performing groups seen throughout each day on three different stages. Thousands of eager customers attend and experience this magical holiday festival, then take home wonderful treasures, fond memories, and the spirit of Christmas.
