New Free Music Festival Announced for Downtown Rockford

If you grew up in the Rockford, Illinois area you probably miss spending a warm summer night at a concert in Davis Park, but guess what? Live music is finally coming back to Davis Park this summer!

Rockford’s Best Summer Festivals

When I started in radio in 2001, many of my summer weekends were spent in downtown Rockford watching concerts in Davis Park.

My favorite events to go to every year were On The Waterfront and Stars & Guitars, and I was super bummed when both of them went away.  Those events weren’t just concerts; they were summer traditions, and Rockford has been blessed to have so many incredible artists grace the stage in Davis Park.
