Here is my weekly look at the public calendar at Black Desert Resort in Ivins for Wednesday, November 11 through Tuesday, November 17, 2026. It's a lighter week, with three live music events from Thursday through Saturday. Everything below comes from the resort's own event schedule, with dates, times and venues as the resort lists them. Schedules can change, so please confirm with the resort before you go.

Guided outdoor adventures

The schedule also lists bookable guided outings this week, including guided adventure hikes, Zion Narrows and Zion National Park hikes, the Candy Cliffs hike, canyoneering, rappelling, and e-bike tours in Snow Canyon and Zion. These are paid, reserved experiences, so check the resort's schedule for current times and availability.

Golf this week

There's no PGA TOUR or LPGA tournament at Black Desert this week. The resort hosted the PGA TOUR's Bank of Utah Championship October 1–4, 2026, according to pgatour.com.

Why Black Desert is a highlight of living in Ivins

Black Desert Resort sits on the black lava fields right here in Ivins, and its championship course has put our town on the national golf map. The resort says it hosted the first PGA TOUR event held in Utah in 60 years. Even on a quiet week, a Friday concert on the lawn or a Saturday brunch with live music is just minutes from home. If you'd like to live close to it all, take a look at Ivins homes for sale, nearby Kayenta and Snow Canyon, or browse all the communities I serve.
