2026 Monthly Hilltop Market

DAVENPORT, Iowa – The Hilltop Campus Village is excited to announce the launch of the Monthly Hilltop Market, a new community event designed to bring together local vendors, artists, entrepreneurs, and residents while celebrating the unique character of the Hilltop neighborhood.

Beginning this season, the Hilltop Market will take place one Saturday each month from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the parking lot at 16th and Ripley Streets (Celebrity Styles Parking Lot) in Davenport. Those dates are:

• April 25th

• May 30th

• July 11th

• August 29th

• September 26th

• October 31st TBD

The Monthly Hilltop Market is intended to create a vibrant community gathering space where visitors can shop local, discover handmade goods, support small businesses, and connect with neighbors. The market is open to a wide variety of vendors, including artisans, crafters, food vendors, collectors, nonprofit organizations, small businesses, and residents looking to sell household items.

"Our vision is to create a neighborhood market that reflects the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the Hilltop," said Brian Kramer, Executive Director of the Hilltop Campus Village. "We want the market to become a destination where people can spend time, support local businesses, and experience everything our community has to offer."

Vendor participation is free, although space is limited and advance registration is required. Vendors can register HERE. Vendors may begin setting up at 8:00 a.m. on market days. Those bringing pop-up tents are asked to provide canopy weights, as stakes are not permitted.

The Hilltop Campus Village also encourages participating vendors to share their Facebook and Instagram accounts during registration. Throughout the season, the organization will highlight participating vendors through its social media channels to help increase visibility and encourage community support.

In addition to shopping, visitors can expect a welcoming neighborhood atmosphere and the opportunity to explore the many restaurants, coffee shops, and locally owned businesses that make the Hilltop one of Davenport's most distinctive commercial districts.

Individuals interested in becoming a vendor or learning more about upcoming market dates are encouraged to contact Brian Kramer at Brian@HilltopCampusVillage.org. Community members can also join the Hilltop Market Facebook Group to receive updates, vendor announcements, and event information throughout the season.
