A Salt Laker's Guide to Midway

As we approach the long weekend, here’s another staycation idea: Midway. There’s no better way to describe this town than quaint and cozy, especially now, as the trees on the hillside have already started changing color.

Craving a Euro summer without the Euro price ticket? We have just the spot for you: Midway. There’s no better way to describe this town than quaint and cozy, especially now, as the trees on the hillside have already started changing color.

Swiss Days

Midway’s annual Swiss Days happens every Labor Day weekend. With plenty of booths to shop, food to eat, and performances to see — you won’t wanna miss it!

Dandelion Gelato

Visit the sister store of The Pizza Yard because, really, what goes better with pizza than gelato? They keep things simple with only a few flavors but each is so tasty.

Ballerina Farm Store

Despite being a certified raw milk hater, I had to visit Ballerina Farm to see what the hype was about. I love specialty food stores so I thought it was really cute and a great place to grab a gift for someone (especially if that someone wants to start making sourdough from scratch).

Lola’s Street Kitchen

A local fave for yummy chicken sandwiches, gyros, and burgers. Sit on the patio for people watching and taking in the views.

Kringle’s Midway

A visit to a Hallmark-movie-worthy town wouldn’t be complete without a stop at Kringle’s Midway, a year-round Christmas store that even looks like a gingerbread house.
