Mercado on Fifth

Take your family. Inexpensive. There's music, dancing, and food. Just a good time. Daughter loves the dancing and dresses, played with other kids.

Living and working in downtown Moline has been an incredible experience, and now even more, due to the recent event that has injected new life into the area. This event has truly transformed my downtown and I am thrilled to see the massive turnouts it attracts. The popularity of the event is such that I believe it would greatly benefit from expanding its space. One of the highlights of the event is the abundance of delicious and authentic food options. Everywhere you turn, food vendors are offering a wide variety of mouthwatering dishes. In addition to the food, the event also features numerous vendors for shoppers to explore. This offers a great opportunity to support local businesses and find unique products. Whether you're looking for handmade crafts, artwork, clothing, or other goods, the vendor section has you covered. The ambiance of the event is further enhanced by live music performances. As you stroll through the event, you can enjoy the sounds of talented musicians filling the air with their melodies. The combination of delicious food, shopping, and live music creates a vibrant and festive atmosphere that is truly enjoyable. Based on my experience, I highly recommend attending this fantastic weekly summer event with your family. It offers something for everyone, from the young to the young at heart. Not only will you have the chance to indulge in delicious food and explore a variety of vendors, but you'll also be able to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere created by the live music. It's a great way to spend quality time with your loved ones while enjoying the best that downtown Moline has to offer.

I have to say, I had fun. I wish they could do street fairs in the cool of spring... Tried food from two vendors, both amazing. Saw some wrestling (its okay, I'll forgive myself later). Mostly I saw people with every skin tone, heard people with every accent, heard people speak lots of languages. There were large families and LGBTQ+...couples, there were young boys flirting with young girls, and young girls flirting with older boys. The food was very good and the peaceful gathering of all types of people post Covid lock down was refreshing and long overdue.

This experience is one of a kind and is such a fun atmosphere. Fun family experience with games, food, music and more. Tons of vendors and gives you a great reason to get out of the house on a Friday evening for some good food and fun!

On behalf of Grupo Forma Elegante we like to thanks Mercado On Fifth, they been supporting us and many other local bands in the qc, thanks to them for always giving us the opportunity to show what we have around the qc area and supporting us since we started this project.

If you’re looking for delicious tacos, and lots of options, this is the place to go! There, Palomas are absolutely incredible as well! The night market vibe is so fun and I absolutely love the picnic tables on the lawn. This review was made in connection with a Toast promotion

One of kind of experience! The Mexican culture is full of vibes and all the people and kids were having time of their lives. Recommend!! Only happens on Friday though!!

Great selection of food. Vendors selling lots of different items. Always fun music. That gets everyone out dancing. Bring a lawn chair.
