Rockford City Market

Rockford City Market Rockford City Market was launched in 2010 as a seasonal outdoor market and a collaborative effort to help bring new life to downtown Rockford.

Rockford City Market in downtown Rockford, IL, features seasonal outdoor markets showcasing farmers and local goods, an indoor food hall, a wedding and event venue, and a licensed commercial kitchen for rent. The market is located on Water Street between State and Jefferson Streets and takes place Fridays, May 21 through September 24, 2021

It includes local growers and vendors who sell natural pr

oducts, like vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat, cheeses, flowers, herbs, baked goods, wine and prepared foods and local drinks, as well as artisans and vendors with unique offerings. Most vendors and performers come from a 150-mile radius, ensuring locally grown produce and unique retail items. In 2019 an indoor year round market opened adjacent to the outdoor location. The market will host fall and winter markets and other events to bring entrepreneurs and the community together. Private rentals are also available. Thank you to our generous sponsors! Mercyhealth

Vendor Spotlight ๐Ÿงถ

Meet Caitlin's Lovely Crochet, returning for her second year at the Rockford City Market!

Caitlin creates handmade crochet plushies designed to bring a little extra joy and personality into everyday life. Each piece is carefully crafted with attention to detail, making every plushie unique, charming, and completely one of a kind.

While you'll find all kinds of whimsical creations at her booth, her crochet dragons are a personal favorite. Full of character and creativity, they always stand out among her collection. You'll also find adorable loaf cats, possums, birds, turtles, cows, and other playful animal plushies that have become customer favorites.

One of the things Caitlin loves most about being a vendor is connecting with the community and seeing the excitement her handmade creations bring to customers of all ages.

Be sure to stop by, say hello, and find a new plushie friend to take home!
