Cedar City Utah Tourism

Cedar City & Brian Head have long been known as the gateway to the National Parks.

Zion, Bryce Canyon, and the lesser known Kolob Canyons and Cedar Breaks are all within a short drive of our central location. Cedar Breaks was recently rated by the Today Show as one of the “Top Eight Unusual Places to See Fabulous Fall Colors.”

Cedar City is southern Utah’s spot for cultural activities, including the Tony Award winning Utah Shakespearean Festival. June through October, the festival offers Shakespeare, plus modern musicals and comedies. The Festival also features a free nightly Greenshow with storytelling, dance and song.

Cedar City hosts many different festivals throughout the year including the American Children’s Christmas Festival, Neil Simon Festival, Cedar City Livestock Festival, Utah Summer Games, Groovefest, & Paiute POW WOW. In the summer, head for the mountains. Brian Head offers chairlift and shuttle service to 200 miles of downhill mountain bike trails and cool alpine hiking trails featuring red-rock vistas of Cedar Breaks National Monument. Plus, Brian Head has ATV tours, fishing, and free bon fire and s’mores. Wintertime, Brian Head is Utah’s best ski value – pristine snow, no lift lines, and uncrowded slopes for only $45! Plus snowtubing, snowmobiling, x-country skiing and day spas.
