Lift Bar & Patio at Brian Head Lodge
Slope-shredding action and a Thanksgiving spread? Give thanks for small blessings, big slopes and good food as you spend the day on the mountain, then dig your boots (and your belly) into a delicious Thanksgiving dinner buffet. From traditional mains like turkey and ham to classic sides, rich pumpkin pie, and toasty hot chocolate, it’s a fuss-free feast for the whole family. Reservations are required.
November 24-25, 2023
Parowan, Utah
Kick off the holiday season with a cheerful Christmas in the Country! Parowan's annual holiday event begins with the Holiday Bazaar, a two-day market where visitors can browse dozens of vendor booths for a great hand-made gift.

St. George, Utah
This holiday experience will take you back to Christmases of old - and we mean olde. The festival creates an immersive village straight out of the Victorian Era, complete with Olde English shops, fortune tellers, street actors, period costumes, and more. Stroll the (recreated) streets of Olde London as you shop for custom gifts, sample tasty treats, enjoy family entertainment, and even have a meeting with Father Christmas.

Bryce Canyon National Park
Flock to this unique holiday festival for a blend of Christmas cheer and conservation! The Christmas Bird Count is a fun family tradition that involves exploring the park for a peek at the winter bird populations. Visitors and rangers alike contribute to the count, which allows experts to make a crucial scientific record of our snowy feathered friends.

This year, Santa is trading sleigh bells for snow skis as he takes up the reins on a thrilling race down the slopes at Brian Head Resort. Details are still to come, but you expect tons of holiday fun as he dons his red robe and spreads cheer far and wide in shred-worthy style.
