5 Things You Can’t Miss in Rockford This Weekend

If you're sticking around Rockford this weekend and needs some plans with the whole family, there's actually a lot going on!

I love when we near summer because that means food trucks, live music, fun markets, and all sorts of random pop-up events happen around the Stateline. City Market returns this May 15th, and Food Truck Tuesdays are back May 5th! Lots to look forward to already, but there's literally something happening every weekend through summer break.
