What to Expect at MOD the Modern Market This April |
Unveil MOD's April Menu: Bold Flavors, Fresh Ingredients, and Exciting Twists Await! |
Spring has a way of bringing people together in St. George — and nothing captures that feeling quite like MOD the Modern Market. On April 11th, Vernon Worthen Park transforms into a vibrant outdoor marketplace where local makers, independent boutiques, food trucks, and one-of-a-kind finds come together for one unforgettable Saturday. If you've never been, here's exactly what to expect.
Arrive Ready to Discover
From the moment you walk in, MOD feels different from your average shopping event. This isn't a farmer's market or a craft fair — it's a carefully curated experience built around the best of what Southern Utah's small business community has to offer. Expect beautifully displayed booths, friendly makers who genuinely love talking about their craft, and products you simply won't find on a store shelf anywhere else. Come with an open mind and leave with something you'll treasure.
Plan to Stay a While
With the market running from 10 AM to 4 PM, you've got a full six hours to explore at your own pace — and trust us, you'll want every minute of it. Seasoned MOD attendees know the move: arrive early to get first pick from the most popular vendors, grab a bite from one of the food trucks midday, then loop back through your favorites before the afternoon wraps up. Bring the family, bring a friend, and bring a tote bag.
Expect Real People Behind Real Products
What sets MOD apart isn't just what's being sold — it's who's selling it. MOD has always been about creating genuine connections between the community and the small business owners who pour everything into their work. When you buy something here, you're not clicking "add to cart." You're shaking hands with the person who made it.
The Details You Need
Mark your calendar, tell your neighbors, and make a morning of it. Admission is completely free, Vernon Worthen Park offers plenty of space to roam, and the weather in St. George makes for the perfect outdoor backdrop. It's Spring, come out and Play!!

Free and outdoors on a spring Saturday. Honestly what more do you need.
Not really my usual scene but my wife loves it so we go every year. I end up having a good time anyway.
Aaron D.Ha this is me every year too. Drag my feet getting ready and then end up grabbing food and finding some cool stuff. Guys always say they hate shopping until they're actually there.
I followed a vendor I met at MOD on social media and have bought from her online twice since then. Love how it connects you.
Melissa RaeThat's the best part honestly. You actually remember where you bought something and there's a real person behind it.
Parking can get a little tricky around that park when events are going on. Get there early if you can.
tim_worthenGood tip. We made the mistake of arriving around noon last year and ended up parking pretty far down the street. Learned our lesson!
Six hours is actually plenty of time if you take your time and don't rush through it.
Glad events like this exist in St George. Good way to support local people.
Would be nice if they had a map of where vendors are set up so you don't miss anything.
I always mean to go and then forget. Setting a reminder right now.
Took my daughter last time and she loved it. Great for families.
April weather in St George is perfect for this kind of thing. Good timing.
Greg FullmerSeriously. A few more weeks and it would be getting too warm to enjoy wandering around outside. They picked a good window.
Bought a handmade candle from a vendor last spring and I still think about it. Best candle I've ever had.
Tanya W.Okay which vendor was it?? I need to know so I can find them this year lol.
Curious what vendors are going to be there this time. Anyone know if they post a list beforehand?
Mike OlsenI think they usually post vendor spotlights on their Instagram leading up to it. Worth checking their page closer to the date.
The food trucks alone are worth showing up for honestly.
rachel_stgRight?? Last time I hit two different trucks and still wanted to try more. Always hard to choose.
Free admission is always a win. Hard to beat a Saturday at Vernon Worthen.
Went last year and it was so fun. Already planning to go again on the 11th.
Becky T.Same! Last year was my first time and I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Already texting my sister to come with me this time.
