2009 Draper Live Nativity
Every year the Riverview LDS Stake presents a Live Nativity. The 2009 Nativity is November 30th to December 3rd from 6:00 to 9:00 each night. The Nativity is free and is a great way to kick off the Christmas Season. Every year we see many of the same people, some of whom travel many miles to see the Nativity. Every year features a cast of hundreds with various animals. In years past we’ve been able to have Camels, Llamas, Sheep and more. I can’t think of a better way to spend the night. A few comments:
- Dress warmly! It will be cold, and there may be a few hundred people in line ahead of you. Thermal underwear and ski pants would not be too much.
- Plan enough time to see the Nativity. There will be a lot of folks there so it may take a while to get through. I expect that there will be lots of entertainment for those line, but don’t expect to be in and out.

The Nativity is at the RiverView Stake Center. The address is 12100 South and 700 West in Draper. Google has a map here. To get there take the 12300 South / Draper Exit off I-15 and head west to 700 West. You will come through three stop-lights and pass the used Cars on your way. When you get to 700 West turn right and head north. You will see the Nativity on the right side of the road.
Questions I’ve been asked in the past:
- The Nativity is totally, completely free. I’ve offered a “Money Back Guarantee” but I am not risking much. If you collect on the guarantee you get back what you paid: nothin’.
- The Nativity has parts outside, but the best stuff is inside a re-creation of Bethlehem. About 30 folks can fit inside the city at a time, and most people are only inside for about 10 minutes, although no one will ask you to hurry if you want to take longer. You go through the city in a semi-single file line.
- I can’t tell you how long it takes to get through. If you come when no one else is there you can be in and out in 15 minutes. If it is busy you could wait much longer.
Let me know if you have any other questions!
