More than 250 local shops and makers are setting up under one roof at Western Sports Park in Farmington starting Tuesday, transforming the venue into a five-day marketplace stuffed with fall décor, jewelry and handmade gifts. The Simple Treasures Fall Fling runs September 22 through 26, giving Wasatch Front shoppers a chance to knock out holiday shopping early while browsing everything from Halloween decorations to baby gifts.
The market's scale is a big part of the draw, with organizers advertising “250+ local shops & makers under one roof,” according to nowplayingutah.com. Shoppers can expect fall and Halloween décor, home décor, boutique clothing, handmade gifts, jewelry and accessories, baby items and treats spread across the vendor floor, per the same listing. ABC4 Utah reports the lineup also includes minky blankets, bejeweled book covers and rings among the finds on display.
ABC4's Deena Manzanares featured a preview of the event in the station's Good Things Utah segment, where Jennie Thacker showed off a sneak peek of items shoppers can expect to find at the Fall Fling, according to the outlet's report.
Extended Hours and Ticket Details
The event keeps extended hours for most of its run, opening 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and wrapping up 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, per the nowplayingutah.com listing. Admission is $7 at the door, though kids 18 and under get in free when accompanied by an adult, the listing notes. A central checkout accepts all major credit cards, and organizers encourage shoppers to pre-purchase tickets online for a discount, according to a related nowplayingutah.com listing for the event's Holiday Kick Off. ABC4's report separately notes that early online ticket buyers can get half-price tickets.
Beyond the vendor booths, the event includes the Studio at Simple Treasures, which offers hands-on creative classes taught by local makers and allows online reservations, according to ABC4's coverage.
Where to Find the Fall Fling
Shoppers should note a discrepancy in the venue's listed street address. The nowplayingutah.com event page gives the address as 25 N Sports Park Way, Farmington, UT 84025, while ABC4's report identifies the location as Western Sports Park, 150 S. 1100 W., Farmington, Utah. Both sources agree the market is taking place at Western Sports Park in Farmington, so shoppers unsure of the exact entrance may want to search for the venue directly rather than rely on a single address.
