Georgefest and St. George Children’s Museum will combine efforts Dec. 1 with the annual Gingerbread Tour, live music, and more. In the Gingerbread Tour, downtown merchants vie for the event trophy. Voting begins Nov. 25 with punch cards available at the Children’s Museum.
Holiday music on the main stage will feature Dixie High School, Snow Canyon High School, and Hands in Harmony choirs bringing to town festive holiday sounds. At the Jazz Garden, attendees will hear the Dixie Jazz Quartet, Nick Adams, and Vinyl Fusion.
Georgefest, a nightlife event held in downtown St. George, is held on the first Friday of every month from 6 to 10 p.m. with the Jazz Garden at Green Gate Village open until midnight April–October. In November, event creators at Emceesquare Media were recipients of a Golden Spike Award from Public Relations Society of America for their research-based approach to creating and adapting Georgefest.
