I'm Delia Bayna, a local REALTOR® who works from Salt Lake City to Utah County. I put this list together so you can plan the weekend in one place. For everything else happening this weekend, see my Neighborhood Calendar.

Thinking about a move in the new year?

Black Friday is a good weekend to look around. If a home is on your mind too, I'll walk you through what it would take, with no pressure and no rush.

Hours and sales can change, and some sell out early, so check with the business before you go. Nobody paid to be on this list. Last checked November 9, 2026.
