2022 DATES: MAY 3 - OCTOBER 25

• May - August: 4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
• September - October: 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm

EVENT INFORMATION

• Alcohol sales will return for the 2022 season.
• We can accommodate up to 14 trucks each week to help keep lines shorter.
• We stretched the food trucks across 4 parking areas from Symbol parking lot to the Swan Anderson parking lot to allow for better line spacing.
• Stretching out truck locations has also made it so wherever you park on our riverfront, you are just a short walk to a food truck.
• We created a layout that reduced the opportunity for lines to cross or overlap.
• Hand sanitizer is encouraged at every truck’s cashier station.
• We encourage cashless transactions to minimize cash handling.
• We setup Square invoicing and online payments for the food trucks to reduce cash handling and provide receipts.
• Food Truck Tuesday schedules, capacities, and plans are subject to change with changing guidance from the Centers for Disease Control, State of Illinois, and Winnebago County Health Department.

All acoustic Jam and Stage show.

Join us for a special screening of these classic films in celebration of RPL's Summer Reading Challenge and 150th anniversary of serving the Rockford community.
