Bringing 50+ Vendors and Live Entertainment to Downtown Elgin Every Friday Beginning June 2
The Elgin Farmers Market will be open Friday from 3-7pm along the River Walk Promenade (a change from prior years). The market is a rain or shine event that continues until Mid-October.
Now in its 23rd year, the market brings a wide variety of fresh, locally sourced foods and handmade goods to the heart of Downtown Elgin. Shopping the market is a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors with friends and family, meet members of the community, and support local farmers, artisan makers, and small business entrepreneurs. Every Friday beginning June 2 and running through October 13, market vendors will set-up shop along the River Walk Promenade in Downtown Elgin. Weekly hours will be from 3pm to 7pm, with the market open an extra hour to 8pm for First Friday on June 2, June 30, and August 4.
This year over 50 vendors are confirmed to participate in the market including some crowd favorites from years past, and some exciting new vendors as well. Farmers Market Manager Sarah Michaels with the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Elgin said, “We are also adding a kids area this year where we will offer free arts and crafts, story times, scavenger hunts and more and we are incredibly grateful to Ascension St. Joseph for their generous sponsorship of and participation in the market.”
Free parking is available throughout Downtown Elgin.
