MESA, AZ — This Easter season, immerse yourself in Jesus the Christ: The Mesa Easter Pageantan awe-inspiring outdoor musical celebration of the life, ministry, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As the largest annual outdoor Easter pageant in the world, this beloved 87-year tradition draws nearly 100,000 attendees from diverse faiths every year.

This family-friendly production comes to life with beautiful messages of hope and the love of Jesus Christ and is a gift to the community from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
