Fairpark
Utah's large local arts, music, food, science, and technology festival brings together more than 500 artisans, vintage sellers, food makers, youth entrepreneurs, performers, and STEM exhibitors. Families can browse over 300 artisan booths, watch demonstrations and screen printing, visit food trucks, and hear more than 30 acts on three stages.
Saturday highlights
Kid Row runs from noon to 4 p.m. with more than 70 makers age 18 and younger selling and demonstrating their work. The children's area offers inflatables, a pirate-ship playground, face painting, crafts, and STEAM activities. The GFiber STEM Building hosts a pop-up Maker Faire, while the Robot Invasion includes robot battles, driving stations, coding challenges, and interactive demonstrations. Some children's activities require separate $3 or two-for-$5 activity tickets.
Bring a refillable water bottle for the free water stations. Food vendors include vegan and gluten-free choices. Well-behaved, vaccinated dogs may attend with a dog ticket, signed liability waiver, and non-retractable leash; service animals enter free.
