The Rock Island Parks and Recreation Department is set to invigorate the riverfront with an exciting addition to its lineup: Revive Rock Island: Spring Market Fest. The event will take place Sunday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free. 

“After the overwhelming success of our Fall Market Fest, we couldn’t resist expanding our offerings to include a spring shopping experience,” said Dan Gleason, special events and fundraising manager. “The enthusiasm from both vendors and attendees has been inspiring. We’re looking forward to creating another memorable day in the park filled with spring and summer treasures for everyone to enjoy.” 

The event will feature more than 40 diverse vendors showcasing an array of handmade crafts and goods, vintage wares, unique gifts, candles, soaps, sweets, jewelry, apparel, accessories and much more. For a sneak peak of participating vendors and their offerings, visit our Facebook Event Page.
