Rock Island riverfront hosting Spring Market Fest on May 18

The Rock Island Parks and Recreation Department will present the second annual Revive Rock Island: Spring Market Fest from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Sunday, May 18. Admission is free and open to the public.

Building on the success of its 2024 debut, this year’s market will feature more than 60 vendors offering a variety of items including handmade crafts, vintage goods, gifts, jewelry, candles, soaps, sweets, apparel, and accessories.

“We’re thrilled to bring this event back after such a great turnout last year,” said Dan Gleason, special events and fundraising manager for the parks department. “Spring is the perfect time to gather outdoors, support local vendors and kick off the season with a fun and festive community event. There is something here for everyone.”

Food options will include Wolfe It Down Pizza and grilled items from the Rock Island Parks Department. Beverages will be available for purchase from The Drink Station and Bent River Brewing Co.
