Stroll on State

Rockford's popular Dasher Dash 5K is coming back this year with new experiences to enjoy, and registration is already open.

If you've ever wanted a job as an elf during Christmastime, you should consider volunteering for this year's Stroll on State.

Santa visits look VERY different this year. Whether Santa is chilling behind some plexiglass, or up on his porch behind a railing, kids definitely aren't jumping up onto Santa's lap this year. But, like everybody else this year, Santa is making it work...

You've got kids, or maybe you've got grandkids. One of the joys of being a parent/grandparent (at least for my wife and me) was taking the kids to see Santa during the holiday season.

Did you know that it's scientifically proven that decorating for the holidays early can boost your mood? Well, Rockford is totally down with that. The city just put their tree up! Well ... kind of. The official 2020 Stroll on State Christmas tree has officially settled down in Downtown Rockford for the Holidays...

If you've been spending more time locked-in at home than you'd care to, here's a great chance to not only get out of the house, but also lending a helping hand with a great community event.

Stroll On State is hoping to bring a little more joy to the 815 this holiday season with a decorating contest for Winnebago County businesses.

In a year where everything has gotten cancelled, the good news is the COVID-19 pandemic did not ruin Stroll On State. You're going to love the changes for 2020.

This is the year of the pandemic, the year of quarantine, the year of e-learning... and the year we still got to celebrate Stroll on State despite all of the other stuff.

Thousands of people will be heading into downtown Rockford for the biggest event of the year and finding a great parking space will be a nightmare.
