There are so many different reasons to visit St. George during the Holidays. Using all common sense here… WARMTH. Okay, so maybe St. George isn’t the southern tip of Florida warm.. However, St. George is known for having over 300 days of sunshine per year. Temperatures here are mild in the winter compared to the rest of Utah, making it a fantastic holiday vacation destination.
Here winters are so mild that you are still able to enjoy the great outdoors without freezing your tail off! Even just enjoy taking a walk on one of the many bike trails we have here in town, or enjoy horseback riding, biking, hiking and so much more! The possibilities are endless when you get as much sunshine as we do here in St. George!
Other than the obvious, here are a few more reasons to visit St. George during the Holidays.
Small Town City Life
Due to the mild winters here, we are able to keep our city life alive even during the night time! Downtown St. George never seems to slow down with the hustle and bustle of locals and visitors enjoying the beauty of the historic buildings, eating amazing foods, walking through the stunning Christmas lit trees in Townsquare Park, or capturing the fun at George Streetfest every first Friday of the month! There is so much to enjoy in downtown even during the more chilly days.
