Bright Lights at the Beverley Center to Celebrate the Holiday Season

The Utah Shakespeare Festival is proud to welcome the public to the ninth year of their dazzling holiday light display all around the Beverley Center for the Arts, which has become a favorite local seasonal tradition.  

“We are thrilled that the community comes and meanders through the grounds, taking in the beautiful lights, decor, and music,” says Executive Managing Director Michael Bahr. “It’s a lovely reason to step out of warm cars and homes with our family and friends and have a Hallmark-like experience.”

The display includes over 100,000 lights, icicles, wreaths, and other decorations, inspired by the 2020 design by professional lighting designers Tom and Donna Ruzika. This year, installation took four members of the Festival’s facilities and electrical staff more than 125 hours to complete. 

The vision for the Festival lights combines traditional Christmas lights and music with theatrical and architectural lighting. New in the last couple of years is additional lighting on Shakespeare Lane and in the Southern Utah Museum of Art (SUMA) Stillman Sculpture Court. The end result is a beautiful display for the community to wander through and enjoy on the Festival grounds during the holiday season. 

The lights turn on near sunset each night, and run through January 1, 2026.
