I have 2 favorite parts of the year. July, because I love the warm, fireworks, and picnics. And also December, because I love warm food, Christmas lights, and time spent with family.
There’s many great events in the state of Utah that help you celebrate the wonderful season, and are completely FREE!!

The festive atmosphere at the Old World Christmas Market is modeled after the Christmas Markets of Europe. A yearly event with origins in Germany as early as the 1300′s, the Old World Christmas Market is reminiscent of days past.
Visitors will be able to shop for one of a kind, handmade items by local artisans and crafters for holiday gift giving. There will also be food vendors offering traditional flavors of the season including baked goods, traditional German food, kettle corn, candied nuts, spiced cider, and hot chocolate as well as specialty packaged food items.
