The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has released the open house and rededication dates for the Manti Utah Temple.

A public open house will run from Thursday, March 14, through Friday, April 5, 2024, excluding Sundays. Before the public open house, a media day will be held on Monday, March 11, 2024. Invited guests will tour the temple March 11–13.

The temple rededication will be held Sunday, April 21, 2024, and will be broadcast to all units in the Manti Utah Temple district. Additional details regarding the rededication will be announced at a future date.

Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the renovation and renewal of the Manti Temple in April 2019. The renovation began in 2021.

This historic pioneer era temple, originally constructed by hand, began a multi-year renovation that included mechanical updates and other changes, in preparation for future generations.

Original plans to construct the house of the Lord in Manti were announced on June 25, 1875, by then President Brigham Young. Ground was broken on April 25, 1877, and Wilford Woodruff, then president of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, dedicated the temple on May 21, 1888.

In June 1985, President Gordon B. Hinckley of the First Presidency rededicated the Manti Temple after renovation.
