25. The Utah Shakespeare Festival, Cedar City
Legendary playwright and poet William Shakespeare once wrote: “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances . . .” Why should Utah be an exception? The Utah Shakespeare Festival is a top-rated event offering audiences critically-acclaimed Shakespearean and contemporary theatrical presentations since 1961.
Visit sometime between June and early October. For it is then that you will be privy to the festival’s traditional summer-fall fare of classes, camps, Greenshows, plays, and seminars. Theatre aficionado or not, this old-fashioned theater experience can actually be one of the very best things to do in the state. Costumed vendors sell assorted beverages and snacks too. In fact, you can even sup at one of the event booths.
There you have it, fellow travelers. These are 25 of the best things to do in Utah, USA. Do you have any favorites we missed? Share them with us in the comment section!
