Peoria Riverfront Market Returns for its 22nd season this Saturday

Yahoo23-05-2025
PEORIA, Ill. (WMBD) — The sights, sounds, and flavors of summer are returning to downtown Peoria as the Peoria Riverfront Market kicks off its 22nd season this Saturday.
A Central Illinois staple for over two decades, the market opens at 8 a.m. and runs until noon along the scenic riverfront. Visitors can expect to find an abundance of locally grown fruits and vegetables, along with a wide variety of homegrown and handmade goods.
This year's market will feature more than 115 vendors from across the region, offering everything from fresh produce and baked goods to artisanal crafts and local artwork.
Sharon Gramm, Executive Director of the Peoria Riverfront Association, said the market has evolved into much more than a place to buy fresh food.
'We like to support our local downtown businesses,' said Gramm. 'We hope people will come down, enjoy the market, maybe have lunch or brunch at one of the surrounding restaurants, visit the museum, and support all the businesses downtown. And so this market's become more than just a farmers market. It's a big community event. It helps support small businesses, and it helps support our downtown.'
The Peoria Riverfront Market will be held every Saturday through September, offering residents and visitors alike a chance to connect with local producers and the broader community.
