Create an itinerary including 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. The market is located on Water Street between State and Jefferson Streets.

It includes local growers and vendors who sell natural products, like vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat, cheeses, flowers, herbs, baked goods, wine and healthy snacks, 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!

  • I love going to City Market when I'm back in Rockford. It always has good bands you can watch while grabbing a Prairie Street Beer. Great selection of food trucks with a large variety of cuisines...

  • The market takes place every Friday night from about 4 to 8 with lots of food trucks, shopping, people watching, plenty of drinks, etc. Fun way to spend some time enjoying downtown whether you live...

  • I visited the Rockford City Market for the first time last Friday. It is a fantastic Market with lots of great food, vendors and live music. A fun thing to do on a Summer Friday night.
  • 1st time being there. Went to scope out the market. Live music, plenty of vendors for food. Next time I will bring an appetite. The Rock river is right there. Beautiful atmosphere. Wrex News broadcast from the event. Met Brittany and she was very nice!
