Downtown Farmers Market to Hold Utah Utes Day

The Downtown Farmers Market will host Utah Utes Day on Saturday, Aug. 2 from 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Utes fans will be able to meet with several Utes teams throughout the day. Balloons, schedule cards, team posters, and face tattoos will be available. Swoop will also be on hand to take pictures throughout the day (9 a.m. - 1 p.m.). The Utes will be set up in the center of Pioneer Park.

Created by the Downtown Alliance in 1992, the popular Downtown Farmers Market is located at Pioneer Park on 300 West, 300 South, and has become a summer tradition throughout the Salt Lake valley. (For more information on the Downtown Farmers Market, visit slcfarmersmarket.org.) The market was designed as a way to allow local farmers to bring produce, meats, eggs, cheese, and more direct to the public. It evolved with the addition of the Art & Craft market, bringing local artisans to the park. According to the DFM site, the market currently has a good crop of cherries, as well as summer squash, green beans, chard, turnips, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, kale, beets, arrugula, apricots, onions, and more.
