This fall, Red Cliffs set out to further highlight The Terrace, among other improvements, with a concert series featuring dazzling performances from a diverse lineup of artists based right here in Southern Utah. Audiences have been treated to nostalgic pop and rock hits from The 8eez, gorgeous vocals and thoughtful melodies from Sarah Jane, and hip-hop and reggae-inspired grooves from Mr. OK and The Last Light.

“Red Cliffs is the community’s place to shop, eat and play,” general manager Cory Ashby said. “We’re always on the lookout for great talent in the area.”

After celebrating exciting local talent all season long, the fall concert series will conclude on Saturday, Nov. 11, with a dazzling showcase of music and movement deeply rooted in tradition. The Siva Pasefika cultural group will bring the spirit of Polynesia to St. George through fresh perspectives of a rich culture.

Having migrated from Samoa to Southern Utah, April Te’o Keil founded Siva Pasefika in 2006 to ensure that her beloved culture was taught and rooted within her children and shared among her community. Today, the Keil family carry out and cultivate this vision by sharing the oceanic mana and aloha of the Polynesian islands through dance and song.

“It’s just a really entertaining show for all ages,” Ashby said. “There’s dancing, there’s singing, there’s fire. They do a really good job with bringing the culture to life.”

The performance will last from 7-9 p.m. and is free to attend. Limited seating will be provided, so guests are encouraged to bring a chair or a blanket and make themselves comfortable on the grassy area near the stage.

Concertgoers can browse a variety of vendor booths while enjoying the show. And if you’re looking for a bite to eat, WannaCinn and Kaiseki Sushi will be offering exclusive deals.

Red Cliffs has been Southern Utah’s premier retail destination since opening in 1990. As the only major indoor shopping center between Las Vegas and the Wasatch Front, it features more than 60 stores and nearly 450,000 square feet of retail space.

With grass areas, waterfalls and seating built into the landscape, The Terrace is the centerpiece of an ongoing rejuvenation project that aligns the mall’s offerings with what today’s customers want and need. That includes even more shopping and dining options, like the Al’s Sporting Goods, Tillys, WannaCinn and Kaiseki Sushi locations that opened earlier this year.
