Welcome to the City of Imperial – Signature Event Series Page (formerly known as Imperial Market Days)! Each year, the City hosts our Signature Event Series events in the months of October, December, February and March. What started as a quiet tradition in 2007, has grown to expand over several City blocks. Thousands of attendees turn out to celebrate culture and commerce in Downtown Imperial.
