The Rockford City Market season end is only a couple weeks away, but there are still plenty of goods to buy, music to listen to, and activities to participate in at the market! Several food vendors offer food and drink to go along with the fall season. Market patrons can enjoy a hot cup of pumpkin spice coffee from JavaMania, or a delectable slice of pecan pie from Zammuto’s. Warm mittens and socks crocheted from Alpaca knit can also be purchased at Dreamswept Alpacas. Whether in the sweltering summer or brisk fall, Rockford City Market is the place to be for the changing seasons.
