If it’s a fresh open-air artist market and street festival you’re looking to enjoy, the Park Silly Sunday Market in Park City has you covered. This fan-favorite market in town is a great place to bring the entire family and spend time exploring locally grown products and hand-crafted goods while enjoying live music as well. The Park Silly Sunday Market kicks off on June 2, 2024, and will be hosted on June 9, 16, 23, and 30.

Enjoy Time at the Park City Farmers Market
Yet another great market to check out during your Park City stay is the iconic and annual Park City Farmers Market. In 2024, the Park City Farmers Market will be celebrating its 24th year of providing local artisans and growers with a one-stop resource for highlighting their wares. You can find the Park City Farmers Market at the First Time Chair Lift Parking lot every Wednesday throughout the summertime from noon until 6:00 pm. The Park City Farmers Market has a more intimate atmosphere with fewer crowds than the Park Silly Sunday Market so it’s a great choice for those who want to slow things down and browse. At the Park City Farmers Market, you can find everything from fruits and vegetables to homemade pastries, salsas, honey, bath products, and more. The market even has clothing and jewelry to browse at your leisure. There’s a small food court on-site to enjoy when cravings come calling as well where several local food trucks set up shop. Do keep in mind that if you choose to enjoy this market, you’ll want to have cash on hand because many vendors that accept credit cards are required to charge anywhere from a 3 to 5% fee for the transaction.
