Welcome to Southern Utah's premiere Festival of Experiential Learning, Discovery, Arts and Adventure!
Enhance your connection to Mother Earth.

We organize a thought-provoking, informative, mission-driven, multi-day educational festival for all ages connecting people to nature and to the stunning beauty of southern Utah and northern Arizona. Enjoy arts, culture, documentary film, live entertainment, presentations and guided outdoor adventures amidst some of the world’s most beautiful scenery.

Amazing Earthfest inspires and educates people to value stewardship of natural and cultural resources on America’s public lands, and to explore responsibility to present and future generations.

All events are free unless noted otherwise, and donations are greatly appreciated. We suggest a $20 donation when you register, to help support our mission and make this annual festival possible.

Meet new friends. Learn more about places you love. Get involved. Make a difference.
