About the Pageant
On eight evenings in June, a cast of over 800 depict with dance, music and drama, on a stage larger than a football field, some of the most compelling and dramatic scenes from ancient American history. Witness for yourself an epic struggle of good and evil and characters you will never forget: Captain Moroni, Ammon, King Lamoni, Mormon, Samuel the Lamanite and others.

As you sit under a canopy of stars --the beautiful Manti Temple rising before you -- you can look to the east and see the beauty of the hills much as it was when these ancient people lived and died. For the first time, the visit of the resurrected Christ to these ancient people will be portrayed in The Mormon Miracle Pageant. You will see Him appear to the people at the end of the terrible destruction that accompanied His crucifixion. You will see Him heal the sick and comfort their children. You will learn how the record of this sacred visit was written and preserved for our time.

Directions:
The Mormon Miracle Pageant takes place at the foot of the Manti temple in the central Utah town of Manti. The best mode of transportation is by charter bus or car, which requires an approximate driving time of 2 hours from Salt Lake City in northern Utah or just under 2 1/2 hours from Cedar City in southern Utah.

Northern Directions:
There are two separate routes to take coming from northern Utah.

1- The first is as follows: I-15 south to U.S. highway 6 in Spanish Fork (I-15 Exit 261). Take highway 6 east to U.S. highway 89. Turn south on highway 89 which takes you directly to Manti.

2- The other route from the north would follow I-15 south to U.S. highway 132 in Nephi (I-15 Exit 225). Take highway 132 east to U.S. highway 89. Turn south on highway 89 which takes you directly to Manti.

Southern Directions:
The best route from southern Utah would be I-15 north to I-70. Take I-70 east to U.S. highway 89 in Salina (I-70 Exit 56). Turn north on highway 89 which takes you directly to Manti. Click on the map for larger view.
