Rockford City Market

Rockford City Market Rockford City Market was launched in 2010 as a seasonal outdoor market and a collaborative effort to help bring new life to downtown Rockford.

Rockford City Market in downtown Rockford, IL, features seasonal outdoor markets showcasing farmers and local goods, an indoor food hall, a wedding and event venue, and a licensed commercial kitchen for rent. The market is located on Water Street between State and Jefferson Streets and takes place Fridays, May 21 through September 24, 2021

It includes local growers and vendors who sell natural pr

oducts, like vegetables, fruit, eggs, meat, cheeses, flowers, herbs, baked goods, wine and prepared foods and local drinks, as well as artisans and vendors with unique offerings. Most vendors and performers come from a 150-mile radius, ensuring locally grown produce and unique retail items. In 2019 an indoor year round market opened adjacent to the outdoor location. The market will host fall and winter markets and other events to bring entrepreneurs and the community together. Private rentals are also available. Thank you to our generous sponsors! Mercyhealth

Vendor Spotlight 🔥

Meet Golden Fusion, returning for their second year at the Rockford City Market!

Golden Fusion is a gourmet egg roll food truck serving up bold, creative flavors that blend comfort food with global inspiration. Built on passion, consistency, and community, they’ve quickly become a fan favorite thanks to their high-energy presence and unforgettable flavors.

With over 35 gourmet egg roll flavors and a rotating weekly menu, every visit brings something new to try while still keeping customer favorites in the lineup. Their fan-favorite Jerk Chicken egg roll is the flavor that helped put Golden Fusion on the map, packed with bold Caribbean spices, incredible flavor, and just the right amount of heat to keep you coming back for more.

This week, they’re also serving up a new must-try flavor: the Chicken Gyro Egg Roll 👀

When they’re not at City Market, Golden Fusion is always popping up somewhere around the Stateline, so be sure to follow them to see where they’ll be next and get your hands on their latest creations.

We at City Market are proudly

Meet Caitlin's Lovely Crochet, returning for her second year at the Rockford City Market!

Caitlin creates handmade crochet plushies designed to bring a little extra joy and personality into everyday life. Each piece is carefully crafted with attention to detail, making every plushie unique, charming, and completely one of a kind.
