The Nauvoo Pageant Presidency welcomes you to the Nauvoo Pageant Website. It is our wish that as you scroll through this site, watch the video's and learn about the Nauvoo Pageant and the city of Nauvoo, Illinois, you will feel of the deep love and respect we have for those early pioneers who settled there. We invite you to come and attend the pageant this summer. The pageant will give you a glimpse of the sacrifice and faith of those special settlers who came to Nauvoo and built a city from a swamp. The pageant is an evening performance every Tuesday through Saturday during the pageant season. The pageant grounds are located just 2 blocks southwest of the Nauvoo Temple. It is free of charge and has unlimited seating. See it this summer-remember it always.
We look forward to sharing this powerful pageant with you. See you in Nauvoo!
