Tuacahn Saturday Market

Every Saturday morning year-round, a tree-lined walkway in a dramatic red-rock canyon comes alive with local artisans, live entertainment, and the sound of water features echoing off 1,500-foot cliffs. The Tuacahn Saturday Market runs at 1100 Tuacahn Drive in Ivins (about 10 minutes northwest of St. George) with hours varying by season: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. May through September, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. October through April. Admission and live entertainment are always free, making this a weekly tradition for locals and a must-stop for visitors exploring Southern Utah. Vendors showcase handmade goods from local painters, crafters, photographers, woodworkers, and artisans offering authentic Southwestern souvenirs, jewelry, pottery, handcrafted toys, and more. The Tuacahn Cafe serves breakfast until noon (pancakes with bacon and juice are popular) and lunch throughout market hours, with additional food vendors offering variety for hungry shoppers.

Families looking for a relaxed Saturday morning activity, couples seeking unique handmade gifts, and anyone who appreciates outdoor markets with stunning natural backdrops will love this. The market changes weekly with rotating vendors, ensuring something new each visit. Bring blankets to spread on the cool grass in the canyon, or use the abundant tables near the water feature for breakfast or coffee. Parking is free at Tuacahn Amphitheatre, and the market is weather-dependent (occasional cancellations during extreme heat or winter storms, though the venue typically operates year-round). Arrive by 9:30 a.m. in summer or 10:30 a.m. in winter for the best vendor selection before popular items sell.
