Celebrating the Spirit of Our Community

 

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to all our incredible vendors, artists, and attendees for their unwavering support and resilience during this year's event. While we've seen our share of rainy days over the years, the weather forecast for this particular event proved to be uniquely challenging and unpredictable, culminating in a truly record-setting day of rain. This was something we could not have possibly anticipated!

In spite of the weather, what truly shined was the commitment and heart of our community. The fact that so many of you still came out speaks volumes about the enduring love for the arts that we all share. It takes remarkable dedication to set up your booth and greet patrons on such a tough day, and we applaud you for it. We heard wonderful feedback from many who participated that, despite the damp conditions, they still had a great time connecting with the community and showcasing their work.

SOUTH SALT LAKE CITY

Many Artists. One Community.

Craftoberfest is a celebration of South Salt Lake's creative community featuring local food, brew and cocktails, live music, art vendors, interactive art activities, and more.
 
Engage with creatives in the heart of the South Salt Lake's Creative Industries Zone as you shop, eat, dance and have fun with our art community and neighbor's creative side.
 
One of the unique annual highlights of Craftoberfest are the custom barrels and kegs hand-painted by local artists in collaboration with community breweries and distilleries. Festival participants get to vote on their favorite barrel/keg, with the People's Choice vote winner receiving a cash prize. 

If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind local arts event and craft beer festival or just looking for something unique for the whole family to do on the weekend, this is the spot to be Saturday, October 4th.
