Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau

Shop The Blocks, an event that draws visitors to restaurants and retailers in downtown Rockford, happens on the third full weekend of June, July, and August.

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau (RACVB), along with Mayor Tom McNamara and the City of Rockford, announced plans for CRE8IV: transformational ART, a new mural festival that will take place at various locations in downtown Rockford.

You probably thought there was nothing worth reading at 35,000 feet anymore after the SkyMall catalog went away.

Stroll on State attracted an estimated 87,500 visitors to downtown Rockford, up 6 percent over 2017.

The Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) wants you to know there are lots of great events and activities in the Rockford area this entire holiday season.

When the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau (RACVB) asked for a local donation of a large Christmas tree for Stroll on State, they got some great responses. And, a great tree.

Rockford's kick-off to the holiday season features a tree lighting, parade, fireworks, horse & wagon rides, visits with Santa, along with some new fun additions.

Thanks to all the excessive rains we've been getting lately, the Rock River is too high to safely host the race this Sunday.

Rockford's biggest and best holiday party is looking for the centerpiece for "Stroll on State," and they hope that someone locally can help them out.

The mural is a week-long project painted on the building at Eddie Green Place, 331 East State Street, in downtown Rockford.
