Hop on the South Salt Lake Fun Bus this weekend and explore the creative industries zone for free. It runs noon-7 p.m. on Saturday and 3-7 p.m. Sunday, every 10 minutes, and goes between several breweries and restaurants. Here are some of the sights you can check out along the way.

🎨 Craftoberfest

Make your first stop Craftoberfest. It’s happening on Saturday, Oct. 7 from noon-5 p.m. There will be local artists, live music, food trucks, and interactive art projects.

🖼 Murals

South Salt Lake holds an annual mural fest and the city is absolutely brimming with murals. Use the handy dandy map to view all the works of art on the route.

🎳 Bonwood Bowl

Bonwood Bowl is a historic Salt Lake establishment, with an iconic sign, that opened in 1957. Although they’ve made updates to their bowling alley throughout the years, they still have vintage charm.

🍜 Pho 33

Soup season is upon us, and there’s nothing quite as comforting as a big bowl of pho. Pho 33 has some of the best in the city. Be sure to save room for eggrolls and mango sticky rice.

🍯 Karim Bakery

A perfect day, for me, always ends with a treat. Stop by Karim Bakery for some seriously delectable pastries and baked goods. They have baklava, spinach and cheese pie, and zaatar bread.
