We are excited for your interest in joining The Holiday Village Market hosted by the Downtown Farmers Market in St. George. Established in 2007, the Downtown Farmers Market has proudly remained a privately owned and operated organization dedicated to supporting local businesses, makers, and our community.

The Holiday Village Market will take place in the heart of Downtown St. George, located in the parking lot across from Bonrue just off 200 W Street. This special holiday event was created to support and promote locally grown food, baked goods, handcrafted items, and locally made artisanal products.

Join us Friday evening to experience the magic of Downtown St. George decorated with beautiful Christmas lights, festive shopping, and holiday spirit, followed by a charming Saturday daytime market filled with local vendors, food, and community fun.

APPLYNG DOES NOT GUARANTEE ACCEPTANCE

THIS FESTIVAL IS ABOUT SHOWCASING AND CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAYS RIGHT IN THE HEART OF DOWNTOWN.

WE DO NOT ALLOW RE-SALE PRODUCTS AT OUR MARKET

There is a $30 Non-Refundable Application Fee to submit Application.

Please provide us information about what products you would like to sell. Your goods must be MADE/PRODUCED by you. Resale violates the licensing of the Market. WE DO NOT ALLOW SERVICE BASED BUSINESSES.

Also, this event is a neutral inclusive community event. We want all members of our community to feel comfortable to come, support local, build community, and celebrate living in Southern Utah. With this in mind we will not be accepting any political charged, run for office candidates, or religious organizations or religious materials to be sold.

Thanks to HB 181, The Home Consumption Act, we do not require that you have a cottage kitchen permit for the Downtown Farmers Market. There are, however, labelling stipulations that go along with this law.

You must label your products that includes the following information: your name, you address, a disclosure statement saying the product is not for resale and has been processed without state or local inspection, and a statement listing whether the food or food product contains, or was prepared in a location that also handles, common allergens.

If you are selling under HB181 everything must be packaged at home and then brought to the market to sell. NOTHING can be packaged at the market. For example: if you are selling a drink it needs to be poured into cup at home then brought to sell as is at the market. 

If you are wanting to prepare food on site/ or package food on site you need to get a temporary food establishment permit through the Southern Utah Health Dept or get your commercial kitchen license or your cottage kitchen license.

Anyone preparing food or giving out samples of products MUST have a hand washing station. You must be able to wash your hands regardless of gloves.

To give out samples at the market you will need to get a sampling permit through UDAF. We can send you that information if you need it.

Please read each section carefully. By selecting "YES, I agree" you are indicating you have read each section. Our goal is to be honest, clear, and concise. Please email downtownfarmerstg@gmail.com with any questions.

1. The Holiday Village Market's mission is to provide community access to locally grown food, baked goods and locally made artisanal products.                                                  
2. We believe in community over competition at our market. 
3. This agreement is between the Farmers, Bakers, Artisans, and or Food Trucks to sell their goods at the Market. 
4. This agreement also outlines the rules and regulations of participating in the Market. Since this is a yearly event and is still in a relatively new location, new or unforeseen situations may arise that will need to be addressed. Additional rules and procedures will and can be added at anytime.
5. DTFM, The Holiday Village Market and Downtown Farmers Market will be used interchangeably throughout the agreement.
6. The DTFM & The Holiday Village Market is owned and operated by Ashley Tiller & Kat Puzey, and as such it is a private business run and operated at the owners' discretion.    

7. The Holiday Market must be paid by Nov 1st 2026. 

8. Once The Holiday Market is paid it is not cancellable.                   

1. Each participant will be issued a temporary business license through the DTFM. It is good ONLY for The Holiday Village Market and it is your responsibility to track your sales and pay the related taxes. 
2. The DTFM requires liability insurance that must cover up to $2 million per incident to participate. Due to our policy and having to insure large areas, ALL VENDORS MUST BE INSURED THROUGH THE DOWNTOWN FARMERS MARKET.

1. WE DO NOT ALLOW RESALE.

2. WE DO NOT ALLOW THE SALE OF LIVE ANIMALS.

3. To keep the market fresh and varied, we prefer to limit 1 vendor per category, i.e. one watercolor artist, one beaded jewelery artist, etc. Exceptions will be made on a case by case basis to accomodate different styles and techniques if the market managers feel there is an adaquate difference in product, e.g. a vegan soap company and a goat's milk soap company. THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO FARMERS.  

4. Fruit grown outside of Utah but within 350 miles of St. George will be accepted in fall/winter months and SELECTIVELY in summer months, but resale of ANY produce that CAN be grown in Utah will not be allowed. (Citrus from within 350 miles= okay, carrots from outside Utah = not okay) We realize some people partner with farmers and go out and harvest the produce and sell to earn payment. This subcategory will be charged as an artisan not a farmer. Resale of commercial produce grown in utah will not be allowed.

5. If you are a visiting artist, precedence will be given to like product made in the State of Utah or within the 100 mile radius of St. George, UT. 

6. We have the right to refuse a product that does not meet the standard quality, is not locally made/produced, or that is too similar to another product being sold. This means if we feel like your craftsmanship is not on the appropriate level your items will be denied. Also if several customer complaints have been made about quality, cleanliness, or standards DTFM reserves the right to discontinue further participation without prior warning.

7. The DTFM does not allow products to be sold that we feel represent or promote bigotry, hate, extreme violence, are politically charged, or any other inappropriate materials including untasteful pornographic materials. 

8. We do allow for employees/relatives to work at your booth. This is only for local artisans and farmers from Utah with under 5 employees. 

9. WE WILL NOT ALLOW ANY AI GENERATED ART/PRODUCTS TO BE SOLD. We as a business do not care if you choose to use AI in your marketing but AI generated art, images, books, or any other products will not be admitted into the market.

3. There will be security for overnight. You can take the product with you that night if you don't want to leave it there. But you will need to keep your pop up and displays shelfing, ect up overnight. You will need to haul the product back in the next day we won't allow cars into the parking lot to unload the next day.

3. You must remain open the entire time. No early breakdowns EVEN IF YOU SELL OUT. The only particpants allowed to leave once they've sold out are farmers, as they are set up on the EDGE of the event. This is a LIABILITY ISSUE. We cannot have you hauling equipment through a packed event.

7. All vendors are REQUIRED to have a 10x10 pop up. We do not care about the color or brand, but we do require ALL participants to have one. This will keep you safe from heat and inclement weather, it will keep your products safe, and ensure the 10x10 spacing is enforced.

8. We don't provide power. IF YOU REQUIRE ELECTRICITY AND CANNOT SELL WITHOUT IT you are responsible for buying your own generator which must be SILENT. 

10. If you have burners or any open flame, you MUST have a baracde across the back of your booth so as to prevent patrons from coming into your area. YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO SET UP WITHOUT ONE.

DTFM has been running for 18 years and has honed segments, maps, and marketing strategies for this event. We do not believe in vendor exclusivity and understand that small businesses must be present at all types of events to be profittable. Where the line must be drawn is that if you participate, start, or support another market you agree to not steal, copy, or diliberately imperssonate DTFM segments, intellectual property, or back end. We also do not allow recruiting for events that run concurrnet to DTFM. One off events, markets on different days, and seasonal events are fine.
