Cedar City, Utah – The Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games, together with Visit Cedar City-Brian Head and the Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce, is launching a new way for visitors, athletes, coaches, and their families to explore Southern Utah. The Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games 40th Anniversary Experience Pass is a free digital passport offering a unique way to experience local restaurants, shops, and attractions throughout the 2026 season.
“We are excited to offer a convenient way for our participants and guests to connect with experiences in Cedar City and Iron County,” said Jon Oglesby, Executive Director of the Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games, an outreach department of Southern Utah University. “Promoting economic development, along with a first-of-class experience, is at the forefront of our goals, and we appreciate the collaboration with Visit Cedar City-Brian Head and the Cedar City Area Chamber of Commerce to enhance the opportunity to do so.”
Whether you’re competing, cheering from the sidelines, or simply visiting the area, the Experience Pass helps you answer the question: Where should we eat? What is there to do? How do we make the most of our visit to Cedar City? With just a quick sign-up, guests gain instant access to exclusive offers from participating local businesses, making it easier to explore, save, and support the community.
Best of all, the digital pass is completely free.
“As we celebrate 40 years of the Utah Summer Games, the Experience Pass represents our continued commitment to elevating the visitor experience,” stated Maria Twitchell, Tourism Director of Visit Cedar City-Brian Head. “This partnership highlights the best of Cedar City and Iron County, and we’re proud to offer a resource that benefits both our guests and our local businesses.”
The Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games 40th Anniversary Experience Pass officially debuts during the Larry H. Miller Utah Summer Games Water Polo Tournament scheduled for April 16-18, giving athletes, visitors, and families an early preview of the program ahead of a full summer of competition and celebration.
