They would get a lot more people if they held it on Saturdays.

Thank You to the market organizers for opening on Sunday. My kids participate in soccer and dance, and Sunday is the only free time I have to visit the farmers market.

Responding to SLC gal, the People's Market doesn't want to compete with the Downtown Farmer's Market. Also, as noted by another, Sunday is the only day many families have to do something together and the People's Market is more geared toward family than the large Downtown market.

How about if they come to Holladay on Saturday and stay in SLC on Sunday. That would be great! Make it easier for folks in this area to buy local, which many of us would be glad to do.

Vendor Dave Baldwin of Sandy sells fresh home-grown produce to Tooele residents Cathe Okuniewicz and her husband, Michael Okuniewicz. Around two dozen vendors set up their tables in the shape of a circle at the People's Market at the International Peace Gardens, where for $5 a community member can get a table and sell home-grown crops.
