Summer 2026 Applications

Applications close March 13, 2026.

Pioneer Park Construction

Planned Pioneer Park renovations are scheduled to take place from March to October 2026. Market staff is diligently working to develop a site map and operations plan that serves both vendors and patrons, while keeping the market in — and as close to — Pioneer Park as possible.

Please see the Salt Lake City Public Lands Department website for information on Pioneer Park improvements.

Packaged Food Vendors

Packaged Food Vendors, which includes bakeries, must prepare and package their items in an approved commercial kitchen. No cottage-license food will be considered. It is preferred that produce and ingredients used in the packaged or baked goods be sourced from the market when possible. Preference is given to vendors that offer diverse or unique products.

Established businesses with a storefront may not apply as a new vendor.

Packaged Food Requirements

Prepared Food Vendors

Prepared Food Vendors cook and serve on-site food for immediate consumption. Partnering with local farms and market vendors is preferred. Prepared Food falls under Salt Lake County Health Department regulations and requires a temporary event permit for each day the product is sold. Electricity is limited in the park; therefore, it is preferable that vendors operate without using power or by using solar power.

Established businesses with a storefront may not apply as a new vendor.
