Middle Ring - Major Landmarks

Armory

Constructed in 1928, the Armory of South Bend originally served as a munitions depot. Today, it has been renovated into a beautiful event space that features a unique blend of modern and rustic elements. It is located along the St. Joseph River and can accommodate up to 500 guests.

​

Farmer’s Market

The South Bend Farmers Market has been around since 1911, and used to be a place where farmers, gardeners and more would come by to the Colfax Bridge and sell their produce and merchandise, until in 1923, when the market became too big for Colfax. It was moved to South Fellows Street near the New York Central Railroad crossing, and moved again in 1928 to its present location on Northside Boulevard.
