With temperatures expected to feel like Fall this weekend, with highs in the mid-70s and lows in the 50s, get out and enjoy all the Stateline has to offer.

The weekend starts on Friday (8/9) with City Market and Friday Night Flix in downtown Rockford.

Thanks to a rain out earlier this summer, you and the family can catch a free movie at Davis Park beginning at dusk as we wrap up the 2024 Friday Night Flix season with the family-friendly classic 'Shrek.'

The Boone County Fair will be going strong through the weekend with Bull Riding on Friday night, then the Soctty McCreery concert on Saturday (8/9). On Sunday, the Demolition Derby will wrap up the 2024 Boone County Fair.

If you want to head out of town this weekend, one of the most popular events in Chicago is happening with the Air and Water Show. Rehearsal is on Friday, and shows will happen Saturday and Sunday.
