ST. GEORGE — St. George is calling all potential stars as the Star Search Talent Show returns to the 4th of July Celebration at Historic Town Square. Those seeking to entertain with a family-friendly act are welcome to audition June 20 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the St. George Recreation Center (285 South 400 East).
Those selected have a chance to be named the next “St. George Star.”
“Each year, we’re delighted to showcase a wide array of local entertainers,” said Talent Show Coordinator Marianne Hamilton. “We encourage anyone who likes to perform to audition for the show. This is always a wonderful part of the Independence Day experience in St. George.”
Each act cannot exceed more than four minutes, and performers should have their own instruments and any needed background tracks. Audio support will be provided. Those interested in auditioning must register in advance and pay a $4 registration fee. Registration closes on June 20 at noon.
Five finalists for each category (Ages 10 & under, 11-17, and 18+) will be identified June 24. Cash and prizes will be awarded to the top three winners of each category.
The Star Search Talent Show will take place on July 4 on the main stage at Historic Town Square at 10:30 a.m. The talent show is just one part of St. George’s 4th of July Celebration. Other events include: the Uncle Sam 4K, 4th of July Parade, Carnival, games, and the fireworks show at 10 p.m. — visible from nearly anywhere in downtown St. George!
