- Hill Cummorah Pageant - Each summer in mid July The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints puts on the Hill Cumorah Pageant, a big outdoor play about the origins of the church. Mormons from all over the country come to perform in it. It is free and worth experiencing if you happen to be in the area. You can usually expect some proselytizing inside the pageant from the church members and outside the pageant from the other Christian churches that want to keep you from going in.
