The Rock Island Parks and Recreation Department is bringing back Revive Rock Island: Spring Market Fest for its second year, building on success and support from its debut in 2024. The event will take place Sunday, May 18, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. 

“We’re thrilled to bring this event back after such a great turnout last year,” said Dan Gleason, special events and fundraising manager. “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.” 

More than 60 diverse vendors will be on hand, offering handmade crafts and goods, vintage items, one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, candles, soaps, sweets, apparel, accessories and more. 

Attendees can enjoy various food concessions including Wolfe It Down Pizza and grilled favorites from the Rock Island Parks Department. Beverages will be available for purchase from The Drink Station and Bent River Brewing Company.
