Rockford City Market
The market takes place every Friday during the summer months along Water Street between State and Jefferson Streets in downtown Rockford. It includes local growers and vendors who sell natural products including vegetables, fruits, eggs, meats, cheeses, flowers, herbs, baked goods, and healthy snacks. Also included are artisans and vendors with other unique offerings. Most vendors and performers come from a 150-mile radius, ensuring locally grown produce and unique retail items.
Patrons can try local brews (both beer and coffee) while listening to live local music which takes place each market under the Pavilion structure. There are also demonstrations and kids' activities to ensure a fun and interactive learning environment for the younger crowd.
