The Downtown Downers Grove Market has 13 Saturdays left in its 2026 season, running every week from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. through Saturday, October 17. The market opened Saturday, May 9, and has been drawing shoppers to browse vendor booths selling vegetables, fruits, baked goods, specialty foods, potted flowers, herbs, artisanal soaps, and handmade jewelry, according to Patch.com's season-opener coverage.
Live music plays every Saturday.
The Indian Boundary YMCA organizes the market, and proceeds support the Y's programs. The Downtown Downers Grove Management Corp. lists the market on its official 2026 events calendar.
