South Main Mercado
Sun, Jun 07 , 2026 • 12:00pm - 7:00pm
1129 South Main Street, Rockford, IL 61101
The South Main Mercado is an outdoor market, serving south Rockford, and the Rockford community. It started as an idea to showcase the Hispanic/Latino Community and has grown into a larger community event.
The Mercado returns! This year, the footprint will be larger than ever. It will be filled with a variety of local retail vendors (jewelry, clothing, art, more), food trucks, and a variety of community partners, especially those who office bilingual support and service. This event is meant to highlight the beauty (and importance) of south Rockford. It will be a way to open the neighborhood and its businesses up to the rest of the community. It will be a fun and engaging way for the community to interact with local small businesses.
