Meet us at the Market year-round!


The Indoor Rockford City Market Building
is open all year round with a Food Hall, an Incubator Kitchen, Rentable Venue Space, and a Creative Studio!

Find us at 116 N. Madison St — we’re open Tuesday-Saturday

Our Food Hall

The Food Hall inside our Indoor Rockford City Market Building is open 5 days a week with multiple ready-to-eat dining options and specialty treats.

Our Indoor Rockford City Market Building is currently home to Crust & Crumbles, Quixotic Bakery, Velvet Robot Coffee Lab, and (COMING SOON!) Bop Bop Korean BBQ.

Our Incubator Kitchen

There’s nothing we value more than local people starting up local projects that they’re passionate about. But we know it can sometimes feel like a long road of uncertainty and expenses to get to the finished product—especially when it comes to selling food to the public. So we’re here to help!

Do you dream of starting your own food truck? Do you want to open your own restaurant or catering business? Have you wanted to have your own food vendor space at the Outdoor Market? We love that and we support you.

Rent our incubator kitchen and start meeting those goals. Take the risk and start laying the groundwork to owning your own restaurant or catering business or starting that food truck! We can’t promise that the road will be easy, but we can promise that our kitchen is state-of-the-art and our kitchen manager is here to help.

The only thing left to do is start cooking.

Here’s what our clients are saying!

We hosted a business conference in the Market Bowtruss Room. The staff was friendly and very supportive during the event when a few minor issues came up. The room was set-up perfectly and the space was a gorgeous backdrop for the event. Everyone was easy to work with and the price fit the budget!
