George Streetfest on Main launches Friday, June 5, making history in southern Utah. In addition to a street market, stage concert, and food truck village, the new Zion Brewing Company Jazz Garden will offer wine, beer, and paired fruit and cheese to the background of live jazz music. This city-sponsored event is the first of its kind for St. George and will be located at the Ancestor Square courtyard.
From 6 to 10 p.m., St. George Main Street will close between Tabernacle and St. George Boulevard and transform into an evening celebration with events carrying on downtown after dark. On an elevated stage, the Precision Hearing Main Street Concert will feature a solid lineup of local performers, including The Academy Show Band, Beans N Wheels, and Soul What!?
The Simister Ortho George Jr. Village, on the south end of the street, will feature games and activities for youth offered by local nonprofit organizations, including DOVE Center, St. George Chamber of Commerce, Recovery Outreach, and Habitat for Humanity. Little SoHo, located at the center of Main, will feature local artists and crafters, buskers performing for tips, The George Store, and George Customs Tent. The north end of the block, Park Place, will feature event sponsors and supporters offering interactive activities and giveaways.
