Stroll On State Is Back And In Person November 27th

It's great to see that after adjusting the festivities to an online virtual format last year due to the pandemic, this year’s event will be completely in-person, filled with holiday magic and decked out with decorations and lights.

The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) promises that during the event, which runs from 2pm-9pm, there will be new enhancements, attractions, live entertainment, vendors, and more for your whole family.
