HAPPY 2025! EXPLORE A FRESH NEW YEAR OF POSSIBILITIES

art classes, book clubs, running & hiking groups, dance, and more in Ogden

lISTS | THINGS TO DO

Ogden has a growing abundance of new things to try in 2025. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or to shed something from 2024, take a quiet hands-on class, join a book club, or learn a new dance. Break out of the same old rut with Ogden's many creative options for igniting a fresh new year of possibilities.

Here are some ideas (not a comprehensive list) to set those 2025 goals in motion. We will keep this list updated, so refer back to it often.

The best place to begin for all sorts of community classes for all ages and fresh ideas is to check out your branch of the Weber County Library for workshops, book clubs, movement classes, and movies.
