History

In 1983, during an economic downturn in Rockford due to a decline in manufacturing, city officials approved $15,000 in financing to create a celebration of the founding of Rockford and held it on Labor Day weekend. The annual On the Waterfront Festival has become Illinois’ largest music festival with over 100 performers in seven music venues covering 30 city blocks. The On the Waterfront Festival includes special events, attractions and venues, as well as over fifty food booths.
