DeKalb Back Alley Market

The DeKalb Back Alley Market (BAM) takes over downtown DeKalb with a curated mix of vintage, handmade, and just plain cool. 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!
