On November 11, 1851, settlers founded Cedar City. This Wednesday, the city marks its 175th birthday at the Heritage Center Theater with a scavenger hunt in the lobby and a show on the main stage. Everyone is invited, and admission is free.

One address, two start times

If you’re bringing kids for bingo, puzzles or the birthday scavenger hunt, aim for the lobby between 5 and 7 p.m. There will be games and prizes during that part of the evening.

If you’re coming for the performance, the time to remember is 7:30 p.m. That’s when the Cedar City Birthday Spectacular begins on the main stage, half an hour after the lobby activities wrap up.
