The Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti, Utah, is celebrating its 50th year and will kick off on Thursday, June 16 and run until June 25. Along with the pageant, the city will host a series of devotionals, concerts, and delicious turkey dinners prior to the pageant to help celebrate this landmark event.

To get you excited, here are a few sneak peek photos of the event as well as a few that show you all of the work that 1,133 cast members and 1,000+ makeup artists, sound technicians, lighting specialists, costume designers, and traffic controllers put into making this miracle a reality.
