Stroll on State!

We're a part of Stroll on State this year! Featuring Pizza, Italian Beef, Meatballs, Fresco Hot Chocolate, and Apple Cider! 

The Rockford Area Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to announce that the sixth annual Stroll on State, presented by Illinois Bank & Trust, is set to return on Saturday, November 24 in downtown Rockford with new announcements, event enhancements, and continued partnerships.

Stroll on State is always held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving and is Rockford, Illinois' kick-off to the holiday season. The free community event in downtown Rockford features a tree lighting, parade, fireworks, horse & wagon rides, visits with Santa and much more! The event is about experiencing the awe and wonder of what a community can do together.
