Utah County is a great place for family fun, with events across the valley for all ages.

Here are five fun events that are perfect for the whole family this week:

Get in the spirit with ‘Elf'

This is the final week for the SCERA Center for the Arts’ run of “Elf: The Musical.” This musical, based on the film “Elf,” will help everyone embrace their inner elf and find Christmas cheer by singing loud for all to hear.

The show runs Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the SCERA Center for the Arts (745 S. State St. in Orem). Tickets range from $12-$14.
