Craft Lake City is electrified to announce the return of its Indie Game Arcade for a third consecutive year, happening 5 p.m. – 9 p.m. Friday, December 5, 2025, at the Seventh Annual Craft Lake City Holiday Market in Ogden’s stunning Union Station.
The Indie Game Arcade is a Friday-only feature of the market offering independent game developers and coders the chance to showcase their games, connect with new audiences and receive real-time feedback, all while celebrating the craftsmanship and innovation behind video game design.
This year, the Holiday Market, running December 5 & 6, will feature over 150 artisans, vintage vendors, performers, craft food vendors and Kid Row exhibitors (new to 2025). The Indie Arcade will provide an exciting, interactive and free holiday experience for families and visitors on opening night.
