Definitely check it out it is always the second Saturday of September and usually the same day as the suicide prevention walk that's at liberty park. The market is from 10-6 and they do the walk from 9-1pm so you're totally able to check out both the same day.

This event is dedicated to celebrating different cultures and backgrounds through art, performance and food. It's a one-stop shop for a multicultural delight! This festival is free to attend, although you're encouraged to bring cash for the food and art vendors. And come hungry-there are so many great food options and the perfect opportunity to try something new. There's a large stage where different performances take place throughout the event. I love hearing the different music and watching the dancers-it's mesmerizing. There's another stage closer to the library in the amphitheater that also has different entertainment-usually things like poetry readings or smaller dance groups. I like the proximity of the performer to the audience-it's a more intimate experience. Most of this event is run by volunteers, so it's definitely a community event and a labor of love. Come support the festival!

Weather was beautiful and it was nice listening to Hawaiian music and watching the hula dancers. Plenty of food options with one beer booth that moved quickly. I saw more vendors this year selling cultural novelties and crafts. It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday evening but definitely busy. Listening to music is what to do here and of course people watch. Didn't stay too long, not much else to do. Free event.

Hands down the absolute worst beer festival in the country.

Utah should never host a beer festival...it's pathetic. The VIP room at Flanker's was very nice with great food choices but the fest itself is a sad reflection on the entire craft beer industry.

This is my fifth year going to this festival. This year was an extreme disappointment. In years…read morepast each vendor would serve you their beer and you could ask questions and get informed about each beer. This year the venue decided to not allow the vendors to distribute their own product. Rather, they set up about five different serving stations with two servers at each station where you had to wait in line 30 to 45 minutes to fill up your 5 ounce mug. This means they only had about 10 servers for thousands of people. Help me make that make sense. It doesn't. The individuals who were serving the beer for the event when I asked them what their favorite one was I was told I don't drink. What! A good handful of the servers were not happy they were there and were rude to the participants. This year, they also did not set up as many chairs or shaded areas like they did in years past. I also talked to multiple vendors and they said that they were only told about this change once they arrived that morning. They also said that if this is the way the venue is going to run this event, they will not be returning next year because it was a big waste of their time. And I will say it was a big waste of every participant time waiting in the long a$$ lines. They also had one entrance and exit at the far south end of the plaza unlike in years past, they had two entrances one at the south end, and one of the north end for the convenience of the Patriots. It was very clear that this year they did not care about the attendees in the paying customers.

It was my first time attending the Greek festival this year…read more Pros: Quite a large venue, lots of food options, lines go fast, plenty of seating, live entertainment. Cons: Advertised as free, but got to the entrance and they were charging a fee ($5), no prices when you get to the food area, so I just started grabbing a few items I wanted to try. As did my better half. We had two full plates and two calamari bowls. When we got to the cashier our total was a whopping $200+ bill. I was dumbfounded. They had a ticket type process for the alcohol? You buy tickets and trade them for the alcohol. On our first trip up the gentleman said we were short one ticket. So we had to go back to the ticket line and ask for another ticket. Why not use cash or card? The food we chose was alright and authentic, but way overpriced in my opinion. The calamari was yummy. I understand it's a fundraising effort for the Greek Orthodox Church, but I honestly wouldn't attend another festival myself. Too expensive.

I can't hype up Craft Lake City enough! Over the years I've taken several of their artisan…read moreworkshops including embroidery classes, relief printing, macrame, sugar scrubs, and so many more. They host several workshops a month and always mix up the locations as well. Sometimes their events are more intimate 21+ events at Alibi, and sometimes we're using a space at NHMU (and getting a complimentary NHMU ticket for the evening!) or the Valley Fair Mail. Every class is so much fun, and it's a lovely community of people from all over the valley. I've met so many wonderful people at these classes. The artists that host them are so talented. I've never considered myself very crafty or creative, but after taking these workshops, I've realized that I have so many skills and interests that I never knew I had! It feels like every workshop honors the creativity of my inner child :) In addition to their workshops, they do a million other things that benefit our local community and foster creativity. They host two large events - the DIY Festival in August and the Holiday Market in December. Their staff is always friendly and helpful, and every event I've attended has been fun and well organized. Thank you to Craft Lake City for helping us adults connect with our inner child and for all that you do for our community!

There were lots of vendors with unique offerings, but I'm not sure it felt especially "urban." The music and entertainment on the two stages were more what I expected-hip hop performers, dancers and artists. I would have loved to see more street performers outside the main stages. The food trucks were sparse-I think there were four in total. Everything was just smaller than I'd hoped it would be. Maybe I'm just comparing it to the much larger arts festival and hoping it would be more like that. Maybe in time. Although I do appreciate that it's free to get in.
