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.
**We are still waiting for approval from the Health Department for our 2020-2021 Winter Markets. Stay tuned for more information!
These mini off-season markets are located inside the Rockford City Market building on 116 North Madison Street on the first Fridays November through April (excluding January) from 4-8pm.
Each Friday will have a selection of rotating vendors, so be sure to stop by and check out which local artisans and makers are on site each month!
There will also be a market bar (hello, seasonal sangria!) and live local musicians.
We wish we could bring the whole outdoor market inside during the winter months, but these cozy & intimate markets are a great seasonal replacement for your favorite summer activity.
So visit the market, meet and chat with a local vendor, and stop by the bar and tell us what you love most about winter and spring in Rockford.
