The Peoria Riverfront Market is a place where local small businesses can go to get the necessary exposure they need to thrive! One of the best decisions we ever made was joining the Riverfront market.

It was bold, and a little bit strange. An Indian Restaurant at a market? But the team embraced us and made sure we understood that the mission of the market was simple - we want to help local and hyper local (downtown) businesses thrive.

Samosas for breakfast 4lyfe!

This market doesn't just happen. It doesn't pop up like a mushroom every Saturday morning. There are countless hours of work and energy behind the scenes by a team of people who go very unnoticed.

We are asking that the Bayleaf faithful please click and vote for the Peoria Riverfront Market as the best in the country. Out of thousands of markets, we are currently in the top 10!

Let's win this damn thing and get the people who work so hard to bring this amazing event to Peoria what they deserve!
