As the holidays reach their peak and the craziness truly begins, consider spending some intentional time with your family and friends instead. You can still enjoy the holiday season and stock up on gifts for the family, just without the chaos of superstores.
Millcreek Common, a new public market and ice skating venue is a great place to spend time with your family and also support local businesses.
The Holiday Shoppes feature Utah's Own products and are open daily from 11 am. to 9 p.m. through December 30. You'll find cheeses, sweets, salsas, sauces, snacks, artisan body care products and more.
The Shoppes are located inside Millcreek's new City Hall at the Commons so you'll stay warm while you shop!
Special Nosh & Shop events to meet local makers happen Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Additional local vendors will be featured on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Ice skating at Millcreek Common is available every day from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., though hours may change depending on special events and holidays. You can rent skates at the rink, so there's no need to find your own. Skating admission is $7 per person, and skate rentals are $5 per person.
