Salt Lake City – The Vine St. Holiday Market is launching its inaugural season with a focus on locally made items, art, jewelry, vintage wares and artisanal food. Over 25 vendors will fill the space located in a charming former church—built in 1906—in the historic district of Murray, UT (184 East Vine Street). The market opens for the holiday season on December 1, 2012 and continues every Sat., and one Sun. (Dec 16); 10 a.m.-3 p.m. through Dec. 22, 2012.

“I’ve always been a big fan and supporter of local, artisan handcrafted work and we happen to be a community rich with amazing artists finding creative ways to express their art,” said Stacey Richards, market organizer.  “The market will showcase a select handful of these artists and present an opportunity for the public to meet and support them in a quaint, holiday environment. It will be a perfect place to spend a Saturday afternoon.”
