The Downtown Farmers Market was created in 1992 by the Downtown Alliance and has grown into a summer tradition for residents of Salt Lake City and beyond. The Market provides opportunities for local growers, food and craft artisans to display and sell items to the public.

Located in Historic Pioneer Park, the Farmers Market has been a growing success for the last 16 years. With the addition of the Art & Craft Market, it has evolved into one of the west's largest community markets. The focus of the Market is to provide local growers with the opportunity to bring fresh produce, as well as flora, bulbs, cheeses, eggs, jellies, directly to the public.

The application process takes place in February, March, and April. Applications will be posted on the Web site. We would be happy to send one by mail if you call us in February. Prices listed below are for 2008. With the exception of produce-only day stalls, the 2008 season is full!!
