Pageant Stage — Local services in Nauvoo

The pure beauty in these pageants are absolutely stunning! It has a beauty that even cameras can’t capture! It’s free and just a stunning program made by all the volunteers. Before hand at 7:00 pm there is a fair that has games, crafts, and native dances that they’ll teach you! You can reserve your seat at 2:00 pm. The people running the fair and pageant are so kind and all the workers are truly just beams of light and kindness! Kids will enjoy the fair so much and it’s all free (besides concessions) they have water stations with cold water ready for you and you can take pictures as pioneers! Why not take a free souvenir? You can go to the wood trading post and get a wooden pageant circle that has both the Nauvoo pageant and the British pageant.

Great pageant about the Nauvoo era history of the LDS (Mormon) Church. The musical is professionally done and free to the public. It was a delight to watch and highly entertaining. I really enjoyed it. I plan to take friends next year. Expect to be impressed by the show.

Recommend you sign up for a seat reservation in order to get a good seat. It's free. Also, remember where you parked as the parking areas are dark and all tend to look alike.

Since it is about a religious group expect to see hecklers on the edge of the grounds. Local police allow them their rights to express themselves but not to harass visitors. Also expect them to be passing out...
