Summer DeKalb Back Alley Market

You’ll find 150+ vendors spread through streets and alleyways—everything from vintage clothing and home décor to pottery, candles, apothecary goods, and specialty foods.

It’s not a craft fair and it’s not a flea market. BAM is built to feel a little different—more curated, more unexpected, and fun to wander. Add in live music, local food, and a crowd that shows up ready to explore, and it turns into more than just shopping.

Come dig around, find something you didn’t know you needed, and spend a few hours having fun in our alley!

Location: DeKalb Back Alley Market, Palmer Ct., 2nd and 3rd St. DeKalb, IL
Admission is free. Bring your family and well-behaved pets
Don’t miss out on this unique shopping experience in Downtown DeKalb!
