Tucked away in the southwestern corner of Utah, Cedar City is a scenic community secluded amid the region’s inimitable natural landscape. The deserts and hills all round Cedar City provide residents with endless opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, and generally exploring the great outdoors.

The city fosters a thriving Main Street district with preserved brick storefronts still operating as cafes, specialty shops, and other locally-owned businesses. Near the center of town, Southern Utah University enrolls around 8,000 students and employs hundreds of locals as faculty and staff members. Hosting a vibrant arts scene, Cedar City is the home of the Utah Shakespeare Festival, as well as an annual fest celebrating another luminary playwright, Neil Simon.
