Rockford City Market

What started as a “farmers market on steroids” concept in a brainstorming session, morphed into the Outdoor Rockford City Market. For the past 10+ seasons the Outdoor Rockford City Market has operated in the heart of downtown Rockford, IL, bringing thousands of people downtown every Friday night during the summer. We intentionally prioritize local makers—growers, bakers, artists, and artisans—so that we can keep striving to connect the community to local small business and entrepreneurs. That has always been the primary goal of our non-profit.
