The 16th Annual Craft Lake City DIY Festival Presented By Harmons will feature over 500 local creatives this year, from artisans, vintage vendors and craft foodies to youth entrepreneurs, STEM exhibitors and performers. Get a taste of what’s coming to the Utah State Fairpark this August in the following pages and get tickets to experience it yourself at craftlakecity.com. With a dog park, VIP lounge, a national headlining musician and brand-new DIY Fest After Dark programming, this year’s festival is not to be missed!

After her business debuted at the 2023 DIY Festival, Chanel Cartier Rogers of Cheeky Dish Vintage will be returning this year to share more upcycled vintage plates, plus some new products with the same cheeky feel.

“I love Craft Lake City’s DIY Fest so much, I knew it was the perfect way to launch my store,” says Rogers. She has been preparing for this year’s festival since the 2024 applications opened, after selling out of vintage plates almost every day in 2023.

“Every time I put plates out for a market, I think to myself, ‘If somehow this makes it [through] the week and hasn’t sold, I’m keeping it.’ Inevitably, they sell, so I’ve made some especially for me to keep,” she says. “I learned that the cheekier the dish, the better. Shoppers aren’t afraid of crass, irreverent or straight-up rude phrases.” Cheeky Dish Vintage was created through an inheritance of dust-collecting vintage plates and the idea to do something special with them.

Rogers is a graphic designer, crafter and vintage lover who wanted to combine all of these qualities into one product. “Crafting is in my blood. I have always been a crafty kid,” she says. She has taken some of her best-selling phrases and turned them into stickers, which she will be selling for just $1 at the DIY Festival.

“No matter the budget, someone can find something to take home from my booth,” she says. Follow @cheekydish.vintage on Instagram to get a sneak peak of what Cheeky Dish Vintage has to offer, or to create a custom order!
