Our organization works to bring new life to downtown Rockford by establishing a weekly tradition that draws people into the heart of the city, creates a vibrant community center, increases business at downtown shops & restaurants, and serves as an incubator for new businesses.
We hope you join us in the goal and meet us at the Market.

15th & Chris is a locally owned burger and soft serve ice cream joint located on the corners of 15th Avenue and Christina St. The building was formerly an ice cream shack, but in the most recent two decades has remained vacant. That is, until James Purifoy, set out to revive the ice cream staple of his childhood. Now the eatery serves burgers, pastas, potato salads, frozen yogurt, smoothies, and 30 flavors of soft serve.
