As you travel across scenic Route 89 through Kane County, make time to stop at one—or all—of four vibrant local markets. Each offers a wide array of vendors and handcrafted goods, from fresh baked treats to handmade jewelry, health products, and specialty foods created by talented local artisans.
In Kanab, you’ll find a market every Wednesday evening from 5 to 8 PM on the lawn of the Kanab Center, right in the heart of town across from the iconic Parry Lodge. Often accompanied by live entertainment from local performers, this market buzzes with fun and personality. Start your visit with a homemade lollipop from Ari and her daughter, then meander through colorful canopies filled with delicious breads, cakes, and artisan goods. Pick up dinner from one of the food vendors, grab a gorgeous scarf or a pair of custom earrings, and don’t forget to end your visit with a homemade popsicle from Angie and her daughter. It’s truly a joyful experience.
For a second Kanab option, visit the Friday morning market from 8 AM to noon in the parking lot of the Iron Horse Restaurant. Many of the same beloved vendors are there, with a few extra highlights—especially fresh fruits and vegetables. Be sure to grab some banana bread from Scott, pick up hiking snacks, and don’t miss the honey made by bees that call Kanab home. Claudia and Dave’s homemade jams are also a must-try.
Heading west on Route 89 Monday evening? Stop in Orderville from 5:30 to 7:30 PM through the end of September. This market is packed with fresh local produce and irresistible baked goods. Dinner options abound—cooked with love by locals—and the handcrafted items reflect the beauty of the surrounding red cliffs. It’s a small town gem full of flavor and creativity.
For a refreshing mountain stop, head just a bit farther to the Duck Creek Farmers Market, happening every Saturday from 10 AM to 2 PM through September at 865 E. Movie Ranch Road in the center of Duck Creek Village. Cooler temperatures and stunning views make this a favorite weekend outing. Vendors come from both sides of the mountain with homemade dog biscuits and collars, artisan jewelry, health products, local honey, and some of the best sourdough bread you’ll ever snack on. You’ll want to take home more than just one treat.
Southern Utah’s farmer’s markets aren’t just places to shop—they’re destinations in themselves. Whichever market you visit, you’ll find community, craftsmanship, and something delicious around every corner.
