Summit Arts Market

Saturday, July 11, 2026 | 10am – 5pm

The Summit Arts Market is a free celebration of local art held at the Red Barn in Oakley, UT. Set against the scenic backdrop of Summit County's east side, this art market brings together dozens of artists and creative entrepreneurs for a relaxed, community-focused day.

Beyond the art itself, the Summit Arts Market is built to be a full day out. Live music programmed by Mountain Town Music keeps the energy going throughout the afternoon, while a lineup of local food trucks and drink vendors rounds out the experience.
