The full Northern Utah calendar of events is on L4, but here are three local events you should check out this week:
1. Christmas Village
Municipal Gardens, Ogden, Nov. 29-Jan. 2, 5-10 p.m.
Most people in the Ogden area probably already have the tradition of going downtown at some point during the season to see the Christmas Village but if you haven’t gotten to see it yet, this is a good year to go. The city website says: “Christmas Village will once again light up downtown Ogden opening November 29, 2025, and closing January 1, 2026. Christmas Village is free for all visitors. Lights are turned on daily at 5 p.m. They are turned off at 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and at midnight on Friday and Saturday. Lights are on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Years.”

Morgan High School, Morgan, Nov. 30, 7-9 p.m.
The music of Handel’s Messiah provides a great way to great the Christmas season. Head east to Morgan to get to enjoy the performance which, according to the website, will feature the Morgan Valley Chamber Orchestra and Singers, and be directed by Emily Shumway Pfeifer. Best of all, it is being presented as a free community event.
