SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Representatives for Salt Lake City's Downtown Alliance say this weekend's farmers market will go on as usual even with protesters camped out in Pioneer Park.
Several hundred protesters marched through downtown Salt Lake City on Thursday as part of a national movement against economic inequality and the business practices of Wall Street.
OccupySLC began its march at the Utah Capitol and made its way through the city's financial district toward the park, where protesters remain.
Occupy Wall Street protests began Sept. 17 with demonstrators pitching tents outside the New York Stock Exchange.
Similar events have occurred across the country.
But KSTU-TV reports that despite the tents and protesters in Salt Lake City's Pioneer Park, the weekly farmers market will still continue.
