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
