Sponsored by South Valley Merchants Alliance, a volunteer group of business owners joining together to celebrate, enrich, and promote the uniqueness of the South Valley with diverse products, personalized service, and support for our hometown community. We support the local places where we EAT, SHOP, PLAY AND LIVE.

FIRST THURSDAYS are a fun way to get out and enjoy Bellevue and Hailey on the FIRST THURSDAY of every month. Check the Wood River Journal the first Wednesday of the month for exciting events and special promotions at participating South Valley local businesses.

Interested merchants please contact Sarah Hedrick of Iconoclast Books at sarahhedrick@cox.net .

1% of SVMA sales each FIRST THURSDAY will be donated to Hailey Beautification Foundation which has some great visual surprises coming soon.

SVMA also conceived the new ARTIST’S MARKET, which starting June 8 will run each THURSDAY 3:30-7:00 also at MINT PLAZA in conjunction with FARMER’S MARKET at Bullion Square. Downtown Hailey is alive and kickin on Thursdays. Participating SVMA members are staying open until 7pm.

ARTIST’S MARKET was inspired by the need for a venue for local artist’s to share and sell their art. This is an active artist community and we are looking for artisans, designers and skilled craters who reflect the spirit of creativity, diversity and individuality. Interested artists please contact Alissa McGonigal at 788-8614 or amcgonigal@idahova.org . Artist applications also available at both JANES BUSINESS COPY & CREATIVE locations.
