Wasatch Community Gardens’ Love Local Winter Market is returning this year on December 6th from 12-6pm! Held at Wasatch Community Gardens Campus (629 E 800 S, SLC), this outdoor market will be a celebration of local food, local makers, and the warmth of community.
Sip on hot tea and mulled wine while you shop from 30+ small, local businesses with a focus on food, gardening, nature, and locally sourced materials.
Admission is $5 at the gate, children 5-and-under are free! This helps us cover the cost of heat lamps to keep this outdoor event cozy, means we can keep our vendor fees low - making this market accessible to smaller and up-and-coming vendors, and helps support our community programming and mission to empower people to grow and eat healthy, organic, local food.
Whether as a shopper or a vendor, we hope you’ll join us under the twinkly lights to support small, local businesses and celebrate community.
We are currently seeking volunteers to join us for this cheer-filled event! We are looking for support in a variety of roles in order to keep the event running smoothly. Sign up now at the link below!
