Jason Derulo, Daya Coming to Landslide Festival in Cedar City July 30 – 31

CEDAR CITY — Jason Derulo and Daya will be performing at the Landslide Festival at Three Peaks Oasis near Cedar City on July 30th and 31st, alongside a dozen other local DJs and musicians.

Aside from the music, the festival will also feature a 130 foot waterslide, a BMX bike ramp, a zip-line, a UTV race track, food trucks and a beer garden, camping, sand volleyball, and more.

More information, including tickets, maps, and a full schedule of events can be found on the official website landslidefestival.com.

Kali Takau, Events Coordinator for the Landslide Festival, said the festival started three years ago and has only grown larger since. Her brother Ammon was in the event planning business, and met the owner of Three Peaks Oasis through a mutual friend.

Ammon had the crazy idea to throw a party out in the middle of the desert and “by luck, he was able to swing it,” said Kali. “It has been gradually building every year.”

While they had some experience putting on events before, Kali said they have had to figure out great deal from scratch. “It has been interesting for sure trying to learn all of the things that go in to something like this,” said Kali. “But I think we have a solid team behind us.”

Despite basically running the show, Kali said event planning is not really her thing. But she is good at organizing. “My brother is great at bringing people together,” she said laughing. “I am more of the checklist person.”

The Landslide Festival is truly the first of its kind for Southern Utah. Kali said they are expecting around five thousand people to attend.

While they are excited for the event’s popularity, venue owner Russell Reber said adapting to the growing crowds has been a challenge.

“We built this venue three years ago,” said Reber. “It started more for family and friends.” But then he caught Ammon’s vision.

Reber said the Landslide Festival was an immediate hit from its first year, and it has only grown more popular.

Last year’s event was so popular in fact that the parking lot completely filled up and guests had to park all the way down on the main road. “So this year we’ve put in a substantial parking lot,” said Reber.

The food truck court, UTV track, updated stage area, sand volleyball courts, and BMX bike ramp are also all new this year. “Every year we add a little more,” said Reber. “This year we’ve really added a lot.”

Reber said that while he will feel relieved when this year’s festival goes off smoothly, he is already thinking about next year. “Oh we’ve got some ideas,” said Reber. “We’ll release those next year. Gotta keep you coming back for more.”

Reber said that if you are planning on coming to the festival, think about it like a trip to the beach. Bring chairs, towels, water, sunblock, etc. He also said that safety is a priority at the festival, and that listening to the event staff is the best way to stay safe.
