Festival of Trees

Utah Festival of Trees is one of the world’s largest indoor displays of decorated Christmas Trees and a local favorite holiday tradition. This annual festival embraces its heritage through the passion embodied by thousands of volunteers who organize and orchestrate the Festival to raise funds for children at Primary Children’s Hospital.

Luminaria

Luminaria is an enchanting walk through Ashton Gardens that transports you to another world with all of the sights, smells, sounds, and tastes of the holidays. A one-way path guides you past millions of twinkling lights in 28 themed areas and the iconic luminaire hill – a light and music show on 6,500 programmable luminaries. Each luminary is a pixel in a moving picture of a flying reindeer, illuminating snowflakes, and other signs of the season. Songs and shows will be even better with the iconic 120-foot tree (already on top of a 40-foot hill!) incorporated into the show.

Sports Comedy Red vs Blue

ComedySportz, the longest-running comedy show in Utah Valley, offers a unique blend of fast and funny improvisational comedy that is appropriate and fun for all ages.

The Red and Blue teams battle it out in front of an audience, playing and challenging each other to games. The referee awards point to the teams based on audience favor. The eternal battle of Red vs. Blue is completely improvised, and the show is never the same twice!

ComedySportz is a hilarious audience interactive-comedy competition between two teams of comedians who perform a series of scenes and songs, all based on suggestions from YOU, the audience!
