Bright and early every Saturday morning all summer long, downtown Peoria comes alive at the Peoria RiverFront Market! Stroll along Peoria’s beautiful Riverfront and discover fresh, locally grown produce, mouth‑watering foods, beautiful handcrafted art, and whimsical creations you won’t find anywhere else. Lively music, friendly faces, and unique entertainment make the market a favorite place to gather with friends and family.

Open every Saturday from May 23 through September 26, the market takes over the 200 block of Water Street from 8:00 a.m. to noon, welcoming more than 100 vendors each week. As a producers‑only market, everything you see is grown, made, or created by the vendors themselves—so you know you’re truly supporting local. Nonprofit organizations and generous sponsors add even more variety and community spirit to the experience.

No two weeks are the same.  Early in the season, you’ll find strawberries, asparagus, lettuce, onions and plant starts.  As summer unfolds, the selection grows to include tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, cucumbers, peaches, melons, sweetcorn and much, much more.  Rain or shine, the Peoria RiverFront Market is open each week (only severe weather can stop us), so make it a summer tradition.  Stop by often and see what’s fresh – you never know what delicious surprises await!  For the latest information, follow us on Facebook and Instagram at @Peoria Riverfront Market.
