O'Fallon Station & Vine Street Market
O’Fallon, IL
O’Fallon Parks and Recreation’s newest attraction, O’Fallon Station was developed in the hopes of redefining the traditional idea of a park by becoming a place where families come to spend time together while supporting the community. Built along the historic railroad tracks in O’Fallon Illinois, O’Fallon Station is a symbolic presence of days gone by and an evergreen reminder of a community that continues to grow.
Built upon the idea that the downtown area of O’Fallon was an important part of the municipality, O’Fallon Station is a venue that was created to bring people together through events, art, food, culture and more.
Since its inception, O’Fallon Station has fostered the continual growth of the Downtown District through community events, weddings, and classes that offer both adults and children an opportunity learn something new. Opened in 2019, O’Fallon Station now hosts the Vine Street Market every Saturday from May through October, attracting thousands of people from the Metro-East who come to shop for artisan goods, produce, locally sourced meats and many more unique gifts.
