George LOVEFEST TO feature DJ DANCE PARTY, kissing booth

George Streetfest on Main Friday, Feb. 3, features the return of LoveFest at Historic Downtown St. George, from 6-10 p.m.

During winter months Georgefest features the DJ Spinz Dance Party at Main Stage, along with talented street buskers performing on Main Street for tips, a street market offering goods sold by local artists and crafters, and the expansion of the Food Truck Village onto Tabernacle Street. In addition to dancing on Main, fire barrels provided by the St. George City Fire Department ensure that Georgefest attendees will stay warm.

The Desert Pulse Jazz Garden at Green Gate Village offers the return of appetizer service by Kanab’s artisan restaurant, Sego. “Sego brings culinary artistry with a dash of urban infusion to the Jazz Garden,” Thorpe said. “We are thrilled to be able to offer their artisan menu paired with local craft brews, boutique wines, and vintages from well-known winemakers.”

While the Jazz Garden always boasts an array of outstanding food and beverage options, it’s all about the music, with an eclectic mix of jazz, blues, and acoustic rock performed by local and guest artists each month. Thus, since its inception, the Jazz Garden has proven to be nightlife that adults 21+ can get excited about. “It’s become a matter of tradition for a large segment of the community,” Thorpe noted. “We see many groups of friends meeting here on first Fridays, and it’s wonderful to know that the Jazz Garden is now such an anticipated part of the local landscape.”

A Georgefest, a nightlife event designed to celebrate the best of Southern Utah, is held on the first Friday of every month from 6-10 p.m., with the Desert Pulse Jazz Garden open until midnight April–October. The event is presented at Historic Downtown St. George, and is sponsored in 2017 by the City of St. George, St. George Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, Canyon Media, St. George News, Etched Magazine, The Independent, Emceesquare Media, The Desert Pulse, Tuacahn, Iron Gate Winery and Wasatch Brewery.
