Are you feeling summer vibes? Then it's time to mark your calendar because Music on the Mall is back at Edgebrook in Rockford, and the 2025 lineup was just announced.
Kick Off Your Weekend with Edgebrook's Music on the Mall

Picture it: warm Friday nights, live music filling the air, and you, vibing with friends, family, or maybe just a well-earned drink in hand.

The FREE concert series is the perfect way to start your weekend. Every Friday from June through early September (with one little July 4 break), you'll find a fresh lineup of talented bands performing at Center Court by Cora Physical Therapy.

Bonus: If Mother Nature decides to throw a tantrum, rain dates are scheduled for September 12 & 19.
Keep the Fun Going After the Show
Once the music winds down at 8:30, there’s still plenty of Friday night left. Head over to Lucha Cantina for killer tacos and margaritas, grab a craft cocktail at Cork, Keg & Spirits, or keep the night going with a sweet treat from Sugarjones. Whatever your vibe, Edgebrook has a spot to cap off the night.
