Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.

South Salt Lake's annual Craftoberfest returns to the heart of the Creative Industries Zone, serving up a vibrant, free community celebration where local art meets craft food and drink. This year features an exciting new live showcase, replacing the legacy barrel auction with eight en plein air artists painting live on-site in a creative collaboration with community breweries and distilleries. Visitors can browse an expansive local artist market, grab a bite from a diverse lineup of food trucks, and enjoy live music that keeps the festival's infectious energy moving all day long.  
  
Perfect for families, Craftoberfest offers a wealth of interactive, youth-focused art experiences. Children can explore their own talents in the Kids Art Garden, browse unique creations made by young entrepreneurs at the Creative Futures art vendor booths, or get transformed with professional face painting. Additionally, festival-goers of all ages can leave their mark on the event by participating in a collaborative community puzzle mural, making it a true celebration of South Salt Lake's rich, collaborative artistic spirit.
