Moab’s old downtown
Other major annual athletic events include the Canyonlands Half Marathon and Five Mile Run (www.moabhalfmarathon.org), held the third Saturday in March. A women’s half marathon, the Thelma and Louise Half Marathon, run in May, is organized by the same group.
Moab’s most popular annual event, more popular than anything celebrating two wheels, is the Easter Jeep Safari (www.rr4w.com), which is the Sturgis or Daytona Beach of recreational four-wheeling. Upward of 2,000 4WD vehicles (it’s not exclusively for jeeps, although ATVs are not allowed) converge on Moab for a week’s worth of organized backcountry trail rides. “Big Saturday” (the day before Easter) is the climax of the event, when all participating vehicles parade through Moab. Plan well ahead for lodging if you are planning to visit Moab during this event, as hotel rooms are often booked a year in advance.
Memorial Day weekend brings artists, musicians, and art cars to the city park for the Moab Arts Festival (435/259-2742, www.moabarts-festival.org).
The dust is kicked up at the Spanish Trail Arena (3641 S. U.S. 191, just south of Moab) with the professional Canyonlands PRCA Rodeo, held the first weekend in June, with a rodeo, a parade, a dance, horse racing, and a 4-H gymkhana.
The Moab Music Festival (435/259-7003, www.moabmusicfest.org) is first and foremost a classical chamber music festival, but every year a few jazz, bluegrass, or folk artists are included in the lineup. More than 30 artists are currently involved in the festival, held the first two weeks of September. Many of the concerts are held in dramatic outdoor settings. The Moab Folk Festival (www.moabfolkfestival.com) is the town’s other big annual musical event, attracting top-notch acoustic performers to Moab the first weekend of November.
