There’s Always Something To Do In St. George
I have four kids and sometimes it feels like all I hear from them is “I’m Bored Dad!” Funny thing is, I was just feeling this way myself the other day and I had to remind myself, there’s always something to do in St. George!
Take this month and the next for instance. Among the many things you’re probably already familiar with, there are a few things happening you might not have heard about yet.
CONCERTS AND MOVIES IN THE PARK
The Concert in the Park Series is a celebration of wonderful music, open parks, and family celebration. The Series runs through September at Vernon Worthen Park. Park seating is available. Families are welcome to bring blankets, lawn chairs, and food. The concert series is FREE to the public. Park seating is available, bring blankets, lawn chairs, food, and the family and on September 12th you can enjoy Disco-A-Go-Go.
Do you prefer movies? Head on over to St. George Town Square on August 26th to see The Mighty Ducks. All movies are family-friendly and provide an enjoyable evening for all who attend.
THE ARTS SUMMIT
Thursday, September 8th brings us ‘The Arts Summit’ at The Electric Theater. The annual Art Summit is hosted by the St. George Arts Commission.
This one-day conference is a chance for arts leaders to network, share, and learn about the industry. Attendees will have a chance to hear from industry professionals on different topics pertaining to the administration of arts organizations and the essential nature of the work these art leaders do.
The Summit is open to all interested participants, and attendance is required for organizations that have received RAP Tax grants from the St. George Arts Commission.
The summit provides organizations an opportunity to market their seasons and provide entertainment during the event. www.sgcity.org/artssummit/
