The Illinois Product Fall Market will take place on Saturday, October 11, 2025.

 Join us for your last chance this fall to purchase Illinois Products at our Illinois Products Fall Market!  Now in its 4th year, the market allows you to shop and stock up on the best local fall goodies, ranging from fresh fruits and vegetables to pumpkins, candies, baked goods, wine, apple cider slushies, handmade gifts, and autumn decorations.

New this year is the 1st Annual Illinois Grown Pumpkin Weigh-Off sponsored by the Illinois Specialty Growers Association and the Illinois Farm Bureau. Stop by between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m. to check out these giant pumpkins and see who takes home the top prize.

Hungry? We've got you covered! NutHatch Hill BBQ Company and Johnnie O's Mini Donuts will be dishing up scrumptious breakfast and lunch options. Plus, sip on Illinois Wine from Hopewell Winery while enjoying live music by Jason McKenzie and Tom Irwin on the Lincoln Stage.

And for the little ones and those young at heart, we have FREE face painting, balloon artistry, pumpkin decorating, and so much more!   Plus, you could be the lucky winner of market cash, an AARP Illinois Product Basket filled with market goodies, or a children’s book by local author Patricia Toht.

Shop, relax, and enjoy the Illinois Product Fall Market on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at The Shed, Illinois State Fairgrounds.
