This year’s display features 1,085 nativities—each different in shape, size, and color.
Together, they create a beautiful tapestry of faith.
Every set stands as a gentle reminder of God’s infinite love for His children.

Our photo room will look a little different this year as we sadly won’t have our costumes. However, we will have our classic nativity backdrop and a beautiful new setting perfect for a quick family snapshot.

We are honored to display many antique, heirloom, handmade, priceless, and irreplaceable nativities and sacred artwork. We are deeply grateful to everyone who shares their treasured pieces with our community—this event truly would not be possible without them.

To help us protect these displays, please talk with your children beforehand about our event rules:
• No running
• No touching the displays
• Please be reverent in our sacred church buildings

Because of the delicate nature of our event, no pets or emotional support animals are permitted at any of the exhibits.

If you are bringing a service animal (as defined by the ADA), please notify one of our greeters before entering so we can assist you appropriately.

Please also note that dogs are not allowed in Memorial Park per Payson City Ordinance.

Anyone who is unable to follow these guidelines will be asked to leave immediately. Thank you for respecting these rules and helping us keep this a peaceful and safe experience for all.

✨ Introducing Our Digital Giving Machine! ✨

We’ve been working on something special, and we are so pleased to finally share it with you!

Just like the big red Light the World Giving Machines you see in Salt Lake and around the world, our Digital Giving Machine lets you support the same incredible charities — right here in Payson.

Each tile on our display represents a real item or service provided by the organizations featured in the official Giving Machines.
Simply scan the QR code on any tile, and you’ll be taken directly to the charity’s website to make a donation.

💡 This is the same experience and the same donation process you would find at GivingMachine.org — just brought local so more people can participate.

You can:
• Give a chicken 🐔
• Provide a warm blanket
• Buy school supplies
• Support refugees
• Offer clean water
• And so much more

Every choice sparks light.

Our hope is that this digital version makes giving simple, meaningful, and accessible to everyone who visits the Creche.

✨ The Digital Giving Machine will be located at Memorial Park, Friday and Saturday evening.

Come explore, scan a tile, and join us in lighting the world — one simple act of service at a time. ❤️
