It might still be cold and wintry outside, but spring and summer activities are not that far away. Organizers of events in West Valley City are gearing up for several events.

The 2025 West Valley City Farmers Market will be held on Thursday nights starting June 19 at Centennial Park (5405 W. 3100 South). The markets will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. each week through Oct. 9.

 As always, they’ll feature locally grown or handmade items, entertainment, food for purchase at the park, and more. Applications will be available soon. Contact [email protected] or call 801-413-8973 for more information.

The annual SpringFest is set for May 3 at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 South. It will run from 4 to 7 p.m. The festival features music, crafts, food, and family-friendly activities. Local vendors will have their products on display, and there will be representatives from the city to connect residents with local resources. You can get more information on the city website at www.wvc-ut.gov.

And it wouldn’t be summer with WestFest, the city’s annual celebration of its establishment and recognition of the community’s many cultures. This year’s WestFest will be held June 12-15 at Centennial Park (5405 W. 3100 South). It includes a parade on the 15th, a talent showcase, a “Fun Run,” fireworks each night and lots of fun and carnival rides in the park. Those wishing to have a vendor booth, food booth or to be an entertainer should plan on registering soon. Again, information will be available on the city website. There’s always a need for volunteers as well. λ
