What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Tuacahn's defining feature, an open-air amphitheatre carved into red sandstone cliffs near Snow Canyon, gives its Christmas programming a dramatically different setting than typical indoor holiday concerts or civic tree-lighting events

02

The mystery stays covered

Lighting displays set against the canyon walls and cliffside backdrop create a visual effect specific to the venue, distinct from anything else in southern Utah's holiday calendar

03

The city starts moving

As an extension of a venue built primarily for large-scale summer musical theatre, the winter program also lets the theatre's production and performing talent extend their season into the colder months rather than going dark after the fall production run ends
