January 30, 2026 — The City of St. George has announced the return of two of its most popular summer traditions: the Concert in the Park and Movie in the Park series, both held at Vernon Worthen Park.
The Concert in the Park series runs weekly from June through August, featuring free live music from local and regional acts spanning genres including rock, country, jazz, and family-friendly pop. The Movie in the Park series screens popular films on a large outdoor screen bi-weekly throughout the summer months, with movies beginning at dusk.
