he Year Round Farmers Market is based in old historic Cedar City. We're an outdoors market all year round! Yes, you read that right. Even throughout the winter! Patio heaters are placed throughout the markets during the colder winter months. Hours are 10 AM-1 PM during the winter and 9 AM-1 PM during the summer. The farmers market was created around 2012 and has been a lively event for our city. From bread to metalwork, our vendors have always been very creative. All of our vendors are local artisans and farmers. Our customers love knowing they support our community directly and meeting the baker or crafter face to face. It brings peace of mind knowing who made your bread! Local musicians play during the summer, with seating for folks to relax and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere. The summer is a busy time for our farmers, and in these months (April - September), we have the most vegetables and fruits. These past few years, our farmers market has really expanded and become quite the event to attend. It's free and family-friendly, and because it's outside yearround, it's pet-friendly as well. 102

During the Christmas season, we like to have Santa stop and by and say hello. As well as trick-or-treat at the farmers market! Our holiday market is October December. We take a two-week break for Christmas and New Years'. The second weekend of January is the start of our winter market, which then runs until April. We still carry a variety of vegetables and fruits during these months. We always have our crafters providing beautiful and unique items for every occasion! Our market is deeply interested in the community that we serve and strives to build solid relationships with each other and the business around us, and our customers. We consult local businesses when entertaining event ideas or sponsoring local musicians and involving them in planning and advertising. We try to build solid relationships with crafters, vendors, and farmers from surrounding areas. Our goal is to welcome all and provide a fun, warm and environment for the community to enjoy.V Our market, Festival City Farmers Market is located at 45 W Center Street, in Cedar City, Utah.
