Pekin Main Street Farmer’s Market kicks off June 21st
Pekin Main Street’s annual Downtown Outdoor Market begins on Thursday June 21st, in historic downtown Pekin next to the Tazewell County Courthouse on Capitol Street.
This weekly open-air market will be held on Thursday evenings, June 21-September 20, from 4:00-6:00 p.m. with a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, plants, fresh cut flowers, herbs, bakery items, canned items, crafts and more.

The Pekin Main Street Farmer’s market was a recipient of a LINK UP Illinois Grant. LINK Up Illinois is a program of Experimental Station in partnership with Wholesome Wave and the Illinois Farmers Market Association.. This grant will allow those that use their LINK cards at the Pekin Main Street farmer’s market to receive a dollar to dollar match for their purchase amount up to $10.00 (per cardholder per market day). This is a win-win situation for vendors and community members alike – vendors will have access to new customers
