Downtown Farmers Market St. George

The Downtown Farmers Market St. George has been serving Southern Utah since its establishment in 2007, operating as a year-round community institution at Vernon Worthen Park that brings together over 50 vendors from Washington and Iron Counties to provide consistent access to fresh, local products while supporting the agricultural economy of Utah's rapidly growing southwestern region. This market represents St. George's commitment to maintaining agricultural connections and community gathering opportunities in one of Utah's most dynamic and fastest-growing metropolitan areas.

Operating with a thoughtful seasonal schedule that adapts to Southern Utah's unique climate and growing patterns, the market runs from May through October on Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM during the peak growing season, then adjusts to November through April hours of 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM to accommodate shorter daylight hours and seasonal product availability. The market closes only during January, ensuring that community members have access to local products and the social connections that farmers markets provide throughout most of the year.

The market's location at Vernon Worthen Park at 300 South 400 East creates a beautiful and accessible setting that combines the natural beauty of Southern Utah with the community atmosphere that defines St. George's approach to quality of life and sustainable development. The park setting provides ample space for vendors and customers while creating a family-friendly environment that encourages community gathering and cultural exchange among the diverse residents of Washington County and the many visitors who come to Southern Utah for its recreational opportunities and mild climate.

The Downtown Farmers Market St. George's vendor base, drawing from Washington and Iron Counties, ensures access to the diverse agricultural products that thrive in Southern Utah's unique growing conditions, from traditional crops to specialty products that reflect the region's distinctive climate and agricultural capabilities.
