Stroll on State

Imagine watching the lighting of downtown Rockford during Stroll On State from a beautiful rooftop. Food, drinks, live music, fireworks and more.

Is it too early for elves to take over downtown Rockford?

How time flies when you're having fun in Downtown Rockford. Stroll on State presented by Illinois Bank & Trust will celebrate its 5th anniversary on Saturday, November 25th, and the organizers have added even more cool things to one of Rockford's favorite events.

With Stroll on State having taken place a couple of weeks back, the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) would love to know what you thought of the 4th annual event. And, while you're at it, when was the last time you headed for downtown Rockford to do some shopping?

If you've been kicking yourself because you missed out on all the fun of last weekend's Stroll on State, you can stop now. One of the coolest features of Stroll on State is Rockford's River Lights, and you can still get down to see them Saturdays and Sundays throughout December.

Get in the holiday spirit as you watch the fireworks from Saturday's Stroll On State slowly burst over the Rock River.

You're probably aware by now that Rockford's 4th annual Stroll on State takes place this Saturday in downtown Rockford from 3pm-9pm. However, if you haven't been downtown for the previous three Strolls, let's take a look at some of the really cool things you can expect at this free family event.

With so much to see and do, it's no wonder thousands of people will be heading to downtown Rockford this Saturday for the annual Stroll on State holiday celebration!

We've talked before about how often we've heard someone say "There's just nothing to do in Rockford," and how the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) is hard at work to put that expression out to pasture.

Saturday, November 26th will be here before you know it, bringing with it one of Rockford's best and most popular events, the 4th annual Stroll on State. Events of this magnitude don't happen by accident. They require lots and lots of planning, cooperation, and a volunteer effort.
