Utah Farm Bureau operates the Farmers Market on Fridays and Saturdays from July 25th to October24th from 8am to 2pm at Murray Park.  The purpose of the market it to connect the consumer to the farmer, and to give out Utah farmers direct to consumer sales. Because of our unique mission the market is food-only, meaning we don't offer space to any crafts, musicians, clothing, etc. This makes for a unique shopping experience focused entirely on Utah farmers and the great fresh produce that is available during our growing season! Vendors also sell other pantry staples: fresh bread, jams, salsa and tamales. We want YOU to make a connection with your local farmer.

The Friends of The City Library in Salt Lake City is holding a book drive to help support Salt Lake’s public library system. The drive will take place on Saturday, October 3rd at the downtown City Library.

Many of us have been reading more while staying at home and have been decluttering and organizing, and the FOTL is hoping that you’ll consider donating books of any kind, for any age, as well as DVDs, Blu-rays, CDs and vinyl records. During the Book Drive books can be donated without leaving your car. A drop off zone will be located on the West side of the library, on 200 East, where masked and gloved volunteers will accept your donations through your car window. Donated items are then quarantined before being sold through the Friends’ online stores. Funds from the book sales are used to support The City Library’s programs. “We are grateful for donations from readers in the Salt Lake Valley,” said Jeff Mower, Executive Director of the Friends of The City Library, “and we hope that if you’re looking for new material to read you’ll consider purchasing one of our Mystery Bag of Books (for both children and adults) or shop our Amazon store.”

Live at the Eccles Presents Juanes Tuesday, October 6th. ArtTix is the official source for tickets for Live at the Eccles Events. Throughout Juanes groundbreaking career, Colombian music superstar has remained dedicated to three essential tenets of his creativity. The natural songwriting of “a soulful poet” (NYT) frequently exploring our capacity to love and the foundational strength it provides our lives, the long-practiced skill of a highly accomplished guitar player, and a deep reverence for the indigenous folkloric rhythms that have fueled the musical culture of Colombia and Latin America as a whole. Now, as the follow-up to his trailblazing visual album Mis Planes Son Amarte - which earned two Latin Grammys and a 5-Star Rolling Stone review for taking fans up to the stars as a conduit to search for timeless love and past traditions, Juanes brings his guitar and folkloric passions back with his latest album “Más Futuro Que Pasado”. One of Colombia’s greatest cultural exports that have woven its way into the musical fabric across the Americas is the propulsive rhythm of Cumbia. Now, with much of the world once again opening its ears wider to the sounds of Latin music, Juanes is extending a global invitation for all to delve and dance even deeper.
