A downtown lighting ceremony in Cedar City is designed to kick off the holiday season with community celebrations and festive activities, according to a notice on the city's website.
The event features a Christmas market with local vendors and unique gifts, alongside live performances and carriage rides. A highlight of the evening includes the lighting of downtown to transform the area into a holiday wonderland. The celebration also features a special appearance by Santa Claus, who is scheduled to arrive by helicopter.
The city is holding open call auditions for performers with experience in singing, dance, musical theater, acrobatics, cheer, or drill team. Auditions were scheduled for September 19 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Frehner Rehearsal Hall. Performers must be available for rehearsals starting November 2, with required attendance on November 26, 27, and 28.
The Downtown Lighting Ceremony is one of several recurring events hosted by Cedar City, which also includes the Cedar City Star Search and the Cedar City Half Marathon.
