¡Juntos Somos Mercado!

Mercado on Fifth is an outdoor event from 5-10 p.m. every Friday on 5th Ave. between 11th and 12th streets in Moline.
The weekly gathering features food trucks, produce/retail vendors, live entertainment and activities for children. Mercado’s 2024 summer season will run every Friday night from May 24 – Sept. 27. Mercado aims to attract more people to the Floreciente neighborhood and increase community involvement and pride by offering economic opportunities to small and minority-owned businesses. Patrons can enjoy cultural entertainment from area musicians, dance groups and artists. The market also provides learning opportunities for children and information about local nonprofits for adults.
